Board Certified, Uniquely Qualified
SADI-S (single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy) can be beneficial for patients struggling with obesity, but because it's complex and requires special expertise, not all bariatric surgeons perform it. Our board-certified surgeons do, and they have helped many patients in serious need of massive weight loss achieve change through SADI-S.

We use the Da Vinci Xi Surgical System to perform bariatric procedures. This robot-assisted approach allows for minimal tissue disruption and a safer surgery with a faster recovery time, even compared to traditional laparoscopic weight loss surgery.

SADI-S Combines Procedures for Enhanced Weight Loss and Minimized Risks
SADI-S (single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy), also known as SIPS (Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing procedure), is an enhanced gastric sleeve surgery and a variation of the traditional duodenal switch procedure. It minimizes your caloric intake by making both restrictive and malabsorptive changes to your gastrointestinal tract. First, the stomach is reduced by about 70% using the gastric sleeve technique, restricting the amount of food you can eat at one time. Next, 400-600 centimeters of the small intestine are bypassed, reducing the amount of nutrient absorption that takes place as you digest your food. These changes, in combination with regular exercise and a refined diet, can help you lose 70-90% of your excess weight.
If you need help losing weight, or if a previous bariatric procedure failed to help you achieve sustained weight loss, Drs. Joe Cribbins and Edmund Chen in Plano, TX, can help determine if SADI-S is right for you.
SADI-S or Traditional Duodenal Switch?
A new connection created during bariatric surgery is called an anastomosis; SADI-S involves a single anastomosis between the stomach and the small intestine. Instead of a single anastomosis, traditional duodenal switch surgery involves two: one between the stomach and small intestine, and another between the middle section of the small intestine and the end section, which allows delivery of bile and pancreatic digestive juices.
If your BMI is 50 or higher, we may recommend a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch instead of the SADI-S, as it bypasses a bigger portion of the small intestine for greater malabsorptive effects.
When you meet with our surgeons for a consultation, they can determine whether the single-anastomosis variation or the traditional duodenal switch will be more beneficial to you.

“A spectacular surgeon.”
“Dr. Cribbins is a spectacular surgeon and the entire process of surgery and recovery has been a great experience. He is professional and laid back at the same time making him easy to talk to even about difficult medical decisions. They are one of the few bariatric clinics that offer so many options and keep up with you long past the procedure. You are a patient for life and they do everything they can to make your experience safe and effective. Would recommend to anyone.” — Derek T.
A Closer Look at the Da Vinci Xi
Before the advent of laparoscopic technology, surgery required large incisions to achieve a proper view of the treatment area. The laparoscope (a small camera on the end of a flexible tube) made it possible to perform surgery using far smaller incisions. But today, Da Vinci Xi gives the term "minimally invasive" a new meaning: it not only provides an even better view of the treatment area, but also gives a trained surgeon expanded capabilities.
Da Vinci Xi provides magnified high-definition 3D views inside the body, while traditional laparoscopic surgery is limited to two-dimensional views. Dr. Cribbins views these images on a monitor; he then uses wristed instruments that follow his movements. These instruments have a full 360-degree range of motion, something the human hand alone does not have. This enhanced dexterity and precision brings tissue disruption, along with recovery time and risks, to an absolute minimum.
Dr. Cribbins performs SADI-S, traditional duodenal switch, and all other bariatric procedures using Da Vinci Xi technology at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Plano, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Plano, Texas Health Center for Diagnostics & Surgery in Plano, and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Frisco.
