Duodenal Switch Q&A

Hi, I have been recommended to do the duodenal switch surgery by my doctor . One of the complications in the future that I am most worried about is a bowl obstruction. How common is this post duodenal switch surgery and is this something I could avoid?

Female 225 lbs 5'7 BMI 35 Slight sleep apnea and taking prescription medication for acid reflux. Dr. Recommended DS instead of Sleeve due to the Sleeve not always alleviating acid reflux. Told me that I probably won't need to diet before surgery due to chance of BMI going under 35 I would like to know if a DS is too severe or drastic due to my BMI not being very high? I read you loose 1 lb a day with the DS? I have to choose between the two &, need some guidance to do so. Thank yo

Is the duodenal switch the same surgery as the open/laproscopic bilio pancreatic diversion?

my bariatric surgeon doesn't perform the duodenal switch and said that only 2-3% of patients get it. but when i read online it said it had fewer complications than bypass. is this true and if so, why do so few patients opt for it?

I have a gastric bypass in 2009 I was 243 and i when down to 168 and gain like 20 pounds in 2012 I got pregnant and gain some weight right now I'm 206 and have some healthy issues again like diabetes and fatty liver i was wonder if I'm a candidate to do a duodenal switch

Im 5'4, currently 225 pounds, 36 yrs old with 2 kids. I am 100% sure the i want to have this procedure done. But i am so confused with the amount of names/types or sizes. i dont know which balloon would be best. Please help me find the right balloon with real results. Thank you
