Duodenal Switch is similar to Gastric Bypass because it creates a shortcut from the stomach to the intestine too. Although in this case, the surgeon eliminates a larger portion of the gastric tract for a faster result.

Making a shortcut and reducing the size of the stomach, the Duodenal Switch reroutes food directly to the distal part of the small intestine. That means that the body absorbs less food, and the patient doesn’t feel anxiety.
