Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) is a type of weight loss surgery that combines both restrictive and malabsorptive components to achieve significant weight loss. It is a complex procedure typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity or those who have not achieved success with other weight loss methods.
During the BPD/DS procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduction in stomach size restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time, leading to decreased calorie intake.
In addition to the stomach reduction, a significant portion of the small intestine is bypassed, altering the normal digestive process. This bypass reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients from food, resulting in further weight loss.
The combination of the restrictive and malabsorptive components in BPD/DS enables individuals to achieve substantial weight loss. It also offers potential improvements in obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
