Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery

Duodenal Switch

An advanced method that both reduces absorption and reduces stomach volume.

About Duodenal Switch

Duodenal switch surgery is one of the most advanced bariatric procedures, combining restrictive and malabsorptive techniques to achieve significant weight loss. The procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a sleeve and rerouting the intestines to reduce calorie absorption. This dual approach makes duodenal switch one of the most effective long-term solutions for severe obesity and related conditions. Patients can lose up to 80–90% of their excess weight and experience remarkable improvements in type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and other metabolic disorders. Although more complex than other bariatric surgeries, it delivers powerful results for patients with high BMI or obesity-related health concerns. Recovery typically takes several weeks, but long-term benefits are substantial. Turkey offers world-class bariatric expertise and advanced facilities for duodenal switch procedures. HealMinded connects patients with highly experienced surgeons who prioritise safety, comprehensive pre-surgical assessment, and long-term nutritional support. This ensures that patients achieve life-changing weight loss while improving overall health.
