"The Duodenal Switch (DS) is a highly effective, two-step bariatric surgery designed for maximum weight loss and metabolic health. First, we remove a portion of the stomach to create a smaller 'sleeve,' reducing the amount of food you can eat (restriction). Second, we reroute a significant portion of your small intestine to limit the calories and fats your body absorbs (malabsorption). As the #1 recognized surgeon worldwide for this procedure by IFSO, I highly recommend the DS for patients seeking powerful, long-term weight loss and resolution of conditions like severe Type 2 Diabetes
The Duodenal Switch is the gold standard for significant, long-term weight loss, but it requires a lifelong commitment to your health and nutrition. It is typically the ideal choice for patients with a BMI of 50 or higher, or those struggling with severe obesity-related conditions like uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol. Because it offers the highest metabolic impact, it’s also an excellent option for revision surgery. As the world's most experienced DS surgeon, I will personally evaluate your unique medical history during our consultation to ensure this powerful procedure is your safest and most effective path to a new life.
In this video, I explain the SADI-S, a highly advanced and modern evolution of the traditional Duodenal Switch. While a standard Duodenal Switch involves two intestinal connections, the SADI-S simplifies this into a single loop (Single Anastomosis). It powerfully combines a gastric sleeve to restrict food intake with an intestinal bypass to reduce calorie absorption. As the world's leading expert in this procedure, I break down exactly how this dual-action surgery delivers maximum weight loss and metabolic healing with an even safer, streamlined technique.

This procedure helps patients feel satisfied with smaller portions, making it easier to reduce overeating and build healthier long-term habits. Many patients also notice improved appetite control as they adjust to their new routine.
