What is Duodenal Switch?
The duodenal switch is a type of weight loss surgery that combines both restrictive and malabsorptive techniques to help individuals lose weight. During the procedure, a portion of the stomach is removed to create a smaller stomach pouch, limiting the amount of food that can be consumed. Additionally, a significant portion of the small intestine is bypassed, reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients.
