BPD -not- a DS

My closest DR. does a BPD only, but not the Duodenal Switch. (Biliopancreatic Diversion) This seems like the worst/best of both worlds, you dump, are restricted on fats, AND have lifelong nutrition issues. I don't see the up side. Also the DR referred to it as "basically a distal RNY" - but that isn't what the diagram looked like. Help! Is this new or old, good or bad? Any feedback?
