The abbreviation for “biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch” (BPD/DS) describes this procedure. Due to the sleeve component, you will experience significantly reduced appetite. This kind of weight reduction is known as malabsorptive surgery because it decreases stomach size and compromises with nutrition absorption.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type=”standard” position=”” title_tag=”h3″ disable_break_words=”no” title=”The Duodenal Switch Surgery”][vc_column_text]Among all the weight reduction surgeries available, the duodenal switch is the most extreme. Instead of creating a single major cut in your abdomen, Dr. Carlton conducts this surgery laparoscopically by making many small incisions with the use of specialized surgical equipment and a guided camera. Dr. Carlton will first remove around three-quarters of your stomach while performing the duodenal switch procedure, leaving a little part the size and shape of a banana. This reduces the area of the small intestine where food and digestive enzymes from the gallbladder and pancreas interact. Unless there are other symptoms of illness, the gallbladder is not removed during duodenal switch operation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”53px” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][vc_single_image image=”10398″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1677522168682{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”10398″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaeaea” css=”.vc_custom_1676996499046{padding-top: 37px !important;}”][vc_column][mkdf_call_to_action layout=”normal” content_in_grid=”yes” button_text=”Ask a Question” button_type=”solid” button_size=”” button_link=”#contactnow”]
