Why Plano Trusts Our Duodenal Switch Team
Helping Patients Transform Their Lives
This young mother didn’t feel as happy as she could have during her trip to Disney. Once she returned home, she met with our team to discuss a duodenal switch. She went from 360 pounds to 225 in a single year and feels so much happier.
“At Disney, the walking was very extreme. I’m in my mid-thirties, and I didn’t want to have to get a walker or a motorized scooter. The care that I received was immaculate. Now, no matter where I’m at, it’s the happiest place on Earth.”

What Is a
Duodenal Switch?
Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, also known as BPD-DS, is a bariatric surgery option that combines a gastric sleeve with the rearrangement of the small intestine to both limit the number of calories the body can absorb and to lower the amount of food the patient requires to feel full. This surgery is both restrictive and malabsorptive, leading to highly effective weight loss. Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch is reserved for patients with a BMI of 40 and greater. Patients must take vitamins for life to maintain proper health.
This weight loss surgery allows patients to achieve more dramatic weight loss results than sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass alone.
“Results from the surgery are just amazing.”

If you’re looking to once again experience life instead of just sitting on the sidelines, as Daniel puts it, Texas Center for Bariatrics & Advanced Surgery is ready to hear from you.

Alternative Procedures Simpler Than Duodenal Switch With Incredible Results
Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI) or “Sleeve Enhancement Surgery”
SADI-S surgery is a type of duodenal switch that involves a sleeve gastrectomy and the rearrangement of the small intestine. It is a simplified version of the classic BPD-DS procedure. SADI bypasses only 60% to 75% of the small bowel and has only one connection to the intestine, resulting in fewer complications.
This is a great primary surgery and a good option if you did not achieve desired weight loss goals after a vertical sleeve gastrectomy.
The SADI-S is a great weight loss surgery option in lieu of a gastric bypass as patients do NOT experience unpleasant dumping syndrome.
Omega Loop or Mini-Gastric Bypass
The omega loop, also known as single anastomosis gastric bypass and mini-gastric bypass, is another kind of bariatric procedure that creates a small, elongated pouch out of the stomach from which the rest of the stomach is permanently divided. Like SADI, this technique requires only one connection, which makes the procedure easier to perform and involves fewer risks.
Dr. Cribbins can help determine which bariatric surgery will be best for you during your consultation in Plano, TX.
