Duodenal Switch Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

In Mexico, the duodenal switch procedure encompasses both restriction and malabsorption techniques. Initially, about 60 to 70% of the stomach is surgically removed, resembling the process in gastric sleeve surgery.

Additionally, the operation has a second component aimed at changing the body’s process of processing food. Through a rearrangement of the small intestine, the surgeon ensures that the path of the food is separate from the location where digestive enzymes are released. As a result, this design significantly reduces the absorption of calorie-rich fats and sugars.

Restrictive: Creating a smaller stomach pouch (capacity of 1-2 oz.) causes you to eat smaller amounts of food.
Metabolic: Changing your gut hormones helps you feel full longer, contributes to appetite suppression, and can reverse obesity-caused metabolic syndrome.

Why Choose Duodenal Switch Surgery in Mexico?

Renowned for its effectiveness, the duodenal switch procedure offers lasting results, notably in resolving health issues such as type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Opting for the duodenal switch in Mexico signifies the start of a patient’s transformative journey to peak health. Additionally, it brings about numerous benefits such as improved digestion, weight loss, and overall well-being.

But what makes this option truly stand out? It’s the enhanced post-operative experience, specifically, that sets the duodenal switch surgery apart from other weight loss procedures. Once past the initial recovery phase, patients can relish a nearly regular diet with only a few limitations.

Duration of Surgery: The duodenal switch surgery spans around 3-5 hours.
Post-Operative Stay: After the procedure, patients can expect to: Spend 2-3 nights in the hospital and Receive close monitoring and dedicated care during their stay.
A complete recovery from the duodenal switch surgery spans several weeks. During this period, a diet and exercise plan is important to guarantee a healthy healing process.

FAQs about Duodenal Switch Surgery

Know Before You Go

Pre-Operative Tests for Duodenal Switch Surgery

On the second day you are in Tijuana, you will have pre-operative tests conducted at the hospital.

Anesthesia in Duodenal Switch Surgery

Your surgeon will carry out the duodenal switch bariatric surgery, a procedure that typically spans between 120 to 150 minutes. Before the operation, the medical team will administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the entire surgical process.

Incision

Initially, cameras are inserted through a small incision in your abdomen to provide a vivid visualization of the surgical area. Moreover, by utilizing state-of-the-art technology in conjunction with laparoscopic methods, this procedure ensures that patients not only experience a clearer view of the surgery but also benefit from a speedier and more comfortable recovery after the operation.

The Gastric Sleeve Segment of Duodenal Switch Surgery

First, the gastric sleeve surgery is executed, where a significant portion of your stomach is removed. This step decreases the capacity of your stomach, thereby limiting the quantity of food it can accommodate.

Small intestine Bypass

Diverting the Small Intestine: What It Means in Duodenal Switch Your surgeon will then attach the end section of your small intestine to the duodenum and close off the middle section of your small intestine.

Biliopancreatic Diversion

Understanding the Biliopancreatic Diversion Stage

Following the gastric sleeve surgery, a biliopancreatic diversion is undertaken. During this phase, the central segment of the small intestine is connected to the terminal section. Through this reconfiguration, the digestive fluids, which encompass bile and pancreatic juices, are channeled to this newly restructured portion of the intestines.

Incision Closed

The surgeon will then remove their surgical instruments and close the incisions.

Recovery Path after Duodenal Switch Surgery in Mexico

Following the procedure, a two-day and two-night hospital stay will be essential. This will allow our devoted team in Tijuana to closely oversee your recovery. Afterward, you’ll be ready to transition to the hotel and continue your recuperation process. As the weeks unfold, not only will you heal and adjust to the new changes, but the tangible results of the surgery will also become increasingly apparent. Ultimately, marked by significant weight loss.
