Among the available bariatric surgeries, the duodenal switch, known medically as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), stands out. This procedure, while complex and more invasive than other bariatric surgeries, is offered in Mexico, including centers in Tijuana.
Although, Duodenal Switch is a powerful bariatric procedure, Renew Bariatric’s bariatric surgeons opt not to perform this procedure due to the surgical risks.

The duodenal switch has the highest weight loss potential among all weight loss surgeries as it combines both restrictive and malabsorptive procedures. The patient can lose as much as 57 kg at the end of the first year of the operation and up to 63 kg by the end of the second year (Biertho et al., 2016).
In a systematic review by Buchwald et al., the percentage loss in body mass index at 24 months post-surgery was 73% (Anderson et al., 2013).
One of the advantages of bariatric surgery is the resolution of comorbid conditions associated with obesity. Biertho et al. found a significant reduction in HbA1C (a marker of glycemic control) following this surgical procedure (Anderson et al., 2013).

One advantage of this system over intestinal bypass is the preservation of the intact pylorus, allowing it to regulate the emptying of stomach contents into the duodenum. Consequently, patients do not experience dumping syndrome. Additionally, foods undergo some degree of enzymatic digestion, and the duodenum remains intact, leading to relatively better nutrient absorption than gastric bypass for obesity.
Despite being the most effective bariatric surgery program regarding weight loss and reversal of comorbid conditions, the rate of DS is fast reducing due to the complexity of the operation, its time-consuming nature, the need for a highly skilled surgeon, and the high rate of complications.
One of the demerits of BPD-DS is the irreversibility of the restrictive procedure. In contrast to gastric banding, BPD-DS has the highest mortality rate in the first 30 days post-surgery when compared with other bariatric surgeries (Anderson et al., 2013).
BPD-DS is a highly effective bariatric surgical procedure that contains both restrictive and malabsorptive components. However, the complication rate is the highest compared to other bariatric procedures with proper patient selection. In the hands of a competent surgeon, most of the complications can be prevented/adequately managed.
The surgery reduces the stomach size, resulting in early satiety and decreased hunger due to decreased ghrelin secretion. Moreover, the restructuring of the small intestine leads to a decrease in nutrient absorption.
The indication for BPD-DS is similar to that for other bariatric procedures. A body-mass index (BMI) >40 kg/m² or BMI >35 kg/m² and one or more significant comorbid conditions or weight-induced physical problems interfering with the performance of daily life activities are eligibility criteria for BPD-DS (Pentin & Nashelsky, 2005). This procedure is also considered a revision surgery when other complex procedures fail.
