SADIS Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico actually removes less of the intestine than other types of bariatric surgery, increasing the number of nutrients your body will be able to absorb. You will need to take vitamins for the rest of your life, however.

Because only one new intestinal connection is made in SADIS, there is less risk of contents leaking from the intestine into the body cavity. This single connection also has the advantage of preventing the possibility of future bowel obstruction, also known as an internal hernia.
