Duodenal Switch is similar to biliopancreatic diversion bypass, or BPD, but instead of a small stomach pouch, a sleeve-shaped stomach is made. The surgeon attaches the final section of the small intestine into the stomach sleeve. Duodenal switch has the same result as other stomach bypass surgeries: bypassing the rest of the small intestine resulting in less absorption of calories and nutrients, causing the feeling of being full.
The Roux-en-Y procedure consists of making the top half of the stomach into the shape of a pouch with the use of staples or sutures. The stomach pouch is closed and attached to a Y-shaped section of the small intestine. The connection bypasses the rest of the rest of the digestive tract including stomach, duodenum, and part of the small intestine. The remainder of the stomach is transferred through a connection from the top portion of the small intestines through the rest of the small intestine, or jejunum.

No! Do not let some doctor decide what is best for YOU for the rest of your life! Do your own independent research and choose the procedure that best suits you, your comorbidities, your lifestyle, etc. Most doctors don't even know about all the different types of WLS procedures available.

Topic: RE: Newly Diagnosed Diabetic
Recent research shows that fat is only hamful to the body when eaten WITH carbs. Fat is not the devil some would try to make you believe it is, and fat does not cause glucose spikes. In fact, dietary fat helps to slow the absorption of carbs, lessening the severity of post-prandial glucose spikes.

Topic: confused between RNY & DS
I am type2 diabetic, I have read and read about both surgerys, till now I am so confused. My surgeon does not do the DS, amd I am so comfortable with him. So I decided on RNY, and I thought this was gonna be easy
Topic: RE: Which surgery would be best for my diabetes?
I have been reading and reading going back and forth between RNY & DS. I find that there r more Drs that do RNY over DS, thats the areas that I checked VA & NC, I have a friend that drove 5hrs from va to NC to have DS. I feel so, so comfortable with my surgeon, but he doesnt do DS. WOW, decisions, decisions. right now I'm leaning with RNY.hmmm wondering though if he did do DS would I do DS smh I dont know
