The Duodenal Switch (DS) is a complex but highly effective weight loss surgery that combines two approaches: restrictive and malabsorptive. It involves removing a large portion of the stomach to create a sleeve-shaped stomach, similar to a gastric sleeve, while also rerouting the intestines to limit calorie and fat absorption.
This procedure results in significant weight loss, with patients typically losing 70–85% of their excess weight. It is particularly effective for individuals with severe obesity or those with obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, as it has the highest success rates for long-term weight loss and improvement of metabolic conditions.
