About Duodenal Switch:
Duodenal Switch is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure that provides the highest possible ‘expected weight loss’ compared with gastric bypass and gastric sleeve. This is one of the main reasons why this surgery type is reserved for only the highest BMIs. Studies have suggested that the average drop in BMI is nearly 35% in 1.5 years.
Duodenal Switch uses two techniques to reduce obesity: malabsorption and restriction. Malabsorption allows calories to go through your system untouched and not be absorbed. The restrictive side makes a fuller faster, allowing the patient to be satisfied with less food. This two-step process allows the patient to burn off excess weight at a staggering rate.
Undergoing a duodenal switch in Mexico is a serious decision. However, by using a service like MexicoDuodenalSwitch, we can help facilitate all the processes and offer you an all-inclusive package. Contact our helpful patient care coordinators today to learn more and discover a new you.
