The duodenal switch, Dallas (DS) procedure, gastric reduction duodenal switch, Dallas (GRDS), is a weight loss surgery procedure that is composed of a restrictive and a malabsorptive aspect.

Advantages

• The primary advantage of duodenal switch, Dallas (DS) surgery is that its combination of moderate intake restriction with substantial calorie malabsorption results in a higher percentage of excess weight loss versus a purely restrictive gastric bypass for all individuals.
• Novel operations are geared toward the treatment of diabetes and not necessarily to induce weight loss. Among the most prominent of these operations are the duodenal-jejunal bypass and ileal transposition where duodenal switch, Dallas is a part of the operation.
• The following observations were reported on the resolution of obesity related comorbidities following the duodenal switch: type 2 diabetes 99%, hyperlipidemia 99%, sleep apnea 92%, and hypertension 83%
• Much of the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, is removed with the greater curvature of the stomach.
• The summarized data can be found on a poster: comparative poster
• Diet following the DS is more normal and better tolerated than with other surgeries.
• The malabsorptive component of the DS is fully reversible as no small intestine is actually removed, only re-routed.

Disadvantages

• The malabsorptive element of the DS requires that those who undergo the procedure take vitamin and mineral supplements above and beyond that of the normal population, as do patients having the RNY surgery.
• Commonly prescribed supplements include a daily multivitamin, calcium citrate, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
• Like RNY patients, DS patients require lifelong and extensive blood tests to check for deficiencies in life critical vitamins and minerals.
• This follow-up care is non-optional and must continue for as long as the patient lives.
• DS patients also have a higher occurrence of smelly flatus and diarrhea, although both can usually be mitigated through diet, including avoiding simple carbohydrates.
• The restrictive portion of the DS is not reversible, since part of the stomach is removed. However, the stomach in all DS patients does expand over time, and while it will never reach the same size as the natural stomach in most patients, some stretching does occur.

Revision (or corrective) weight loss surgery, Dallas is a procedure to help correct problems associated with weight loss (bariatric) surgery.

The most common reason for revision weight loss surgery, Dallas is insufficient weight loss after the initial weight loss surgical procedure.

TYPES OF REVISION WEIGHT LOSS SURGERIES INCLUDE:

Gastric bypass revision surgery

If you have had gastric bypass surgery and you are not losing weight, you are gaining weight, or you are having medical complications, your bariatric surgeon will first ask you to keep a food diary to ensure that the number of calories you are eating can help promote weight loss

Lap band revision surgery

Lap bands that have slipped, eroded, or failed for any other reason require revision weight loss surgery. sleeve gastrectomy is a revision weight loss surgery option that can help promote weight loss in patients whose lap bands have been removed
 

Vertical banded gastroplasty (or stomach stapling) revision surgery

If you have had vertical banded gastroplasty and are not losing or are gaining weight, your procedure might need to be revised with newly placed staples and / or revised banding. Many vertical banded gastroplasty procedures, however, are converted to an entirely new procedure that can better promote weight loss

Duodenal switch weight loss surgery shortens the path food follows through the small intestine. This reduces the time your body has to absorb calories from the food you eat and helps you lose weight.

This surgery involves three steps:

1. Surgeon cuts the small intestine in two places: across the duodenum just below the pylorus and about halfway into the intestine. This leaves two sections of small intestine, each about 8 to 10 feet long.
2. Surgeon sews and staples the top of the first section of intestine closed and attaches the bottom to the second section about 3 feet from where the small intestine meets the large intestine.
3. When the surgeon attaches the second part of the small intestine to the pylorus where the duodenum used to be, the duodenal switch is complete.

When the surgery is complete, food from the stomach will now move through about 10 feet of small intestine instead of 20 feet which will cut your calorie and nutrient absorption in half.

AFTER DUODENAL SWITCH SURGERY

After your Duodenal switch surgery at Banner Health, you can continue to lose or maintain your weight by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

You’ll also follow-up with your doctor at Banner Health Weight Loss Centers for guidance and can attend our free support groups both before and after your surgery.

Questions About Revisional Surgery

Will you do my revision if another surgeon performed the original operation?

Revisional bariatric surgery is one of our specialties, so it’s quite common for our patients to have received their first bariatric operation from a different operating surgeon.

What are the reasons to perform revisional bariatric surgery?

There are two: 

1. Poor weight loss or weight regain. 
2. Complications of the original procedure. These are generally procedure-specific, e.g., ulcers for RY gastric bypass, slippage for the LAP-BAND, etc.

Will my insurance provider cover the procedure?

In general, the coverage by insurance providers for revisional bariatric surgery mirrors that of the primary procedure, e.g., if you’re 100 pounds over your ideal weight or you have significant obesity-related health problems. Many insurance companies require another diet history.

Does weight regain after a bariatric operation “automatically” qualifies me for revisional surgery?

No. Regaining a small amount of weight is common following all bariatric operations. The key is to limit the amount of weight gain.

If weight control becomes a problem again, you should seek out your original bariatric surgeon for evaluation. Additionally, we’d be happy to answer any of your questions. Contact us for assistance.

What are the results of revisional operations?

In the hands of an experienced bariatric surgeon, the results of operations for complications are generally good.

Conversely, patients who fail gastric bypass tend to lose less weight following conversion to a more malabsorptive bariatric procedure. Additionally, patients who have “popped” their staples usually do well when the situation is repaired.

What are the risks of revisional procedures?

Historically, revisional bariatric surgery has been high-risk. Two decades ago, the overall complication rate approached 50% with a mortality rate as high as 5-10% in some published reports.
