How Duodenal Switch Surgery Helps You Eliminate Weight And Type-2 Diabetes

Leo Niva

Duodenal switch surgery can help you lose weight from Type-2 diabetes.The surgery re-routes the foods you eat to prevent your body from absorbing all of the calories those foods generate which can cause weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Here is how the surgery is performed to help you lose weight and eliminate your Type-2 diabetes.

Stomach Dissection

The surgeon will first cut off a section of your stomach to make it smaller. The surgery can be performed arthroscopically where tiny surgical tools are inserted through small cuts made in your abdomen.

The surgeon will do a vertical cut along the backside of the stomach so she can remove roughly 85% of it. The stomach will lose its sack-like feature where food you have eaten normally sits for roughly 5 hours while chemicals in your digestive system starts to break the foods down so your body can absorb the calories and nutrients.

She will reshape the stomach until it looks like a banana. The new shape will help streamline the food from your esophagus, through your stomach, and into the small intestines without too much of the calories getting absorbed into your body. The nutrients won't get absorbed either, and you doctor will have you take nutritious supplements to maintain the health of your body.

Shrinking Small Intestines

The major amount of food absorption in your digestive system occurs in the small intestines. To limit your absorption rate, your surgeon will trim down your small intestines to make it smaller and less capable of fully absorbing the foods you eat.

Your surgeon will first cut the small intestines up near the pylorus and duodenum. The pylorus is a sphincter muscle located between the bottom of the stomach and the small intestines. The pylorus opens and closes to allow the contents of the stomach to drain from the stomach and into the small intestines.  

The duodenum is the portion of the small intestine that connects the pylorus to the small intestines.

Your surgeon will also cut the small intestines off down near the large intestines. Then she will connect the top section of the small intestines containing the pylorus and duodenum to the small section still connected to the large intestines.

Your food will now flow quickly from your stomach down through to the large intestines without too much getting absorbed into your body.

Overall Results of Surgery

Studies have shown that those who have had this surgery can expect to lose up to 80% of their excess weight, and 99% of patients with Type-2 diabetes will have their blood sugar levels return to normal without the help of medication.

If you are a candidate for gastric by-pass surgery and you have Type-2 diabetes, you should talk to your doctor to learn more about duodenum switch surgery.
