Benefits of Duo Switch Surgery in Cobb County

Sometimes called a bilio-pancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), this procedure goes beyond a normal gastric sleeve procedure. Like a gastric sleeve, this procedure eliminates a majority of the stomach and forms it into a shape of a banana. Unlike a gastric sleeve, a duodenal switch also means that the lower intestine is divided. Roughly two-thirds of the intestine is operated on so that food and enzymes cannot be absorbed fully. 

WellStar provides expert bariatric surgeries, including duo switch surgery in Cobb County, which can result in dramatic weight loss for the patient. By combining features of gastric bypass with those of duodenal switch surgery, digestion and absorption of nutrients along the gastrointestinal tract are enhanced. Duodenal switch surgery will help mitigate significant problems related to obesity, including diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Our team at WellStar takes pride in personalizing your needs so that together, we can achieve the best results for long-term health benefits.

The benefits of the duodenal switch surgery in Cobb County include substantial and sustainable weight loss. Through this procedure, for many patients, diabetes becomes better controlled, with an overall decrease in medication usage since blood sugar levels are brought under control. Also, cholesterol levels improve, reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems. Compared to other forms of bariatric surgery, this operation produces better long-term outcomes, hence emerging as a good option for morbid obesity.
