»: Biliary Pancreatic Diversion (BPD) Duodenal Switch (DS)
About 70% of the stomach is removed in this operation, reducing the production of gastric acid, and limiting the ability to consume large food portions.
With this procedure the small intestine is dissected and one end connected to the remaining reduced stomach pouch. This channels food into other sections of the digestive tract with resulting limited absorption. Full digestion does not occur until after the anatomical section called the ‘intestine knot’ brings food in contact with bile and pancreatic enzymes. After BPD, therefore, food is only digested in this last, 100cm “common knot” section of the small intestine.
Following BPD patients can eat larger portions of food then those patients who have had gastric bypass surgery or adjustable gastric band, according to Roux. Weight reduction with this procedure gives the greatest weight loss of all bariatric interventions, because of the significant degree of mal-absorption.
Regular check-ups with a physician are necessary for the rest of the life of a patient who has undergone this procedure because of the possibility of inadequate nourishment as a result of low absorption of nutrients. Vitamin and mineral supplements are always necessary.
With BPD there is the possibility of substantial weight loss (90-100% of pre operative excess weight) and also the possibility of a complete resolution of some obesity associated disorders (e.g. type II diabetes), in more than 90% of patients.

Biliary Pancreatic Diversion (BPD)
Biliary Pancreatic Diversion (BPD) Duodenal Switch (DS)
Even after diet and exercise, weight loss eludes some patients. It is now possible to employ 'mal-absorption' surgery if medical indications are that this will be beneficial. This procedure is called Bilious Pancreatic Diversion (BPD). It works to decrease the ability of the digestive system to digest and absorb some components of food so that only partial digestion of food occurs. This reduces absorption of the calories contained in food in the area of the small intestine. The consequence of mal-absorption surgery is in a fundamental restriction of the nutrients (and energy) absorbed from ingested food, which along with the surgically achieved reduced volume of stomach (making it impossible to consume food in large quantities), will ensure significant weight loss. As a large part of the small intestine is bypassed during surgery, the digestion of food as it comes into contact with bile and pancreatic enzyme, occurs nearer the middle, or in the final sections of the small intestine. This results is substantial reduction of food digestion with significantly limited absorption.About 70% of the stomach is removed in this operation, reducing the production of gastric acid, and limiting the ability to consume large food portions.
