What Is a Duodenal Switch?
Both the duodenal switch (DS) and SADI-S procedures provide effective weight control and resolution of obesity-related conditions. However, DS typically results in greater long-term weight loss compared to SADI-S, though it requires a longer operative time and can lead to lower vitamin and mineral levels.
Duodenal switch surgery is a weight loss procedure that combines a gastric sleeve with a rearrangement of the small intestine to limit the calories your body can absorb. It also helps you feel full from smaller portions. By restricting the calories you consume and absorb, you can lose weight.

FAQ About Duodenal Switch in Tijuana, MX
How is a duodenal switch different from other bariatric surgeries?
Unlike gastric sleeve or gastric bypass alone, the duodenal switch combines both procedures to combine the benefits of both. First, a sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of your stomach and the amount of food you can consume. Then, the small intestine is rerouted to limit calorie absorption. This dual approach makes it one of the most effective long-term weight loss options available.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Most patients lose 70–90% of their excess weight within the first two years after surgery. The duodenal switch typically produces greater weight loss and is the most effective procedure for patients with higher BMIs or obesity-related conditions.
What risks should I be aware of?
Because the duodenal switch is more complex, it requires a highly experienced surgical team. Potential risks include nutritional deficiencies, longer recovery, or surgical complications. With Dr. Martinez and her certified team, strict safety protocols and close follow-up care help minimize these risks.
