Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) is an advanced bariatric surgery designed for patients with severe obesity. This laparoscopic procedure combines restriction (smaller stomach) and malabsorption (rerouted intestines) to achieve significant and sustainable weight loss.
BPD/DS works by reducing the stomach's size and rerouting the small intestine, which decreases the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs. The surgery is highly effective for long-term weight loss, especially for patients with a BMI over 50.
Patients with severe obesity, a BMI over 50, and those who have struggled with other weight loss methods may benefit from BPD/DS. This surgery is especially beneficial for those with obesity-related comorbidities like diabetes.
Though highly effective, BPD/DS carries a higher risk of nutritional deficiencies, so lifelong vitamin supplementation is necessary. Regular follow-up visits with your surgeon are crucial for maintaining health post-surgery.
Hyderabad’s bariatric surgery centers offer expert care in performing BPD/DS, ensuring safe and effective weight loss results for patients seeking a long-term solution to severe obesity.
