What To Expect With Duodenal Switch Weight Loss Surgery
Understanding what to expect with Duodenal Switch Weight Loss Surgery can help you prepare for the procedure and recovery process. Here’s an overview:
The Surgery
Duodenal Switch Weight Loss Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves two main steps: first, the surgeon reduces the size of your stomach by creating a smaller sleeve. Then, a section of your small intestine is rerouted to limit the absorption of calories and nutrients. The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and specialized instruments.
Following the surgery, you will spend a few days in the hospital for monitoring and recovery. Our dedicated medical team will provide you with postoperative care instructions, including pain management, dietary guidelines, and physical activity recommendations. You may experience some discomfort during the initial recovery phase, but it should gradually improve over time.
