Duodenal Switch Surgery in Puerto Vallarta

Discover a powerful solution for significant weight loss and improved health with Duodenal Switch surgery at Hidalgo Bariatrics Puerto Vallarta. This advanced procedure offers a comprehensive approach to obesity treatment, addressing both restriction and malabsorption to help you achieve long-lasting results.

What is Duodenal Switch Surgery?

Duodenal Switch surgery, also known as Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), involves two key components: restrictive and malabsorptive. During the procedure, the stomach is significantly reduced in size to create a smaller stomach pouch, limiting food intake. Additionally, a portion of the small intestine is rerouted to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients, further enhancing weight loss.

Experience the potential to shed up to 70% of excess weight through Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery. Dr. Hidalgo often recommends this procedure for patients seeking substantial weight loss beyond what a gastric sleeve can provide, without necessitating a full gastric bypass.

Benefits of Duodenal Switch

Significant Weight Loss: Experience dramatic and sustainable weight loss, often exceeding other bariatric procedures, leading to improved overall health and quality of life.

Effective Resolution of Co-morbidities: Duodenal Switch surgery has been shown to effectively resolve or improve obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Enhanced Metabolic Health: By reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients, Duodenal Switch surgery helps regulate metabolic function, supporting long-term weight management and preventing weight regain.

Recovery: The recovery period following Duodenal Switch surgery can vary from patient to patient, influenced by factors such as overall health, adherence to post-operative instructions, and any complications that may arise during or after the procedure.

Is Duodenal Switch Surgery Right for You?

Duodenal Switch surgery may be recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. It is also suitable for patients who have not achieved success with other weight loss methods or who require significant weight loss to improve their overall health.

Understanding Duodenal Switch: A Unique Approach to Weight Loss

Duodenal Switch surgery represents a sophisticated and effective approach to weight loss, combining restrictive and malabsorptive elements to help patients achieve significant and sustainable results.

This innovative procedure, also known as Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), offers a comprehensive solution for individuals struggling with severe obesity and related health conditions.

The Two Components of Duodenal Switch Surgery

Restriction: During Duodenal Switch surgery, the size of the stomach is significantly reduced to create a smaller stomach pouch. This restriction limits the amount of food that can be consumed at one time, promoting portion control and reducing calorie intake.

Malabsorption: In addition to gastric restriction, Duodenal Switch surgery involves rerouting a portion of the small intestine. By bypassing a significant segment of the intestine where nutrient absorption occurs, the procedure reduces the number of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body, further enhancing weight loss.
