Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 - The " switch " refers to the biliopancreatic diversion with the duodenal switch or DS for short. This form of weight loss surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing a portion of the intestines so that fewer calories are absorbed from the food we intake. You can find more information and a picture of the modified anatomy at www.duodenalswitch.com . There are only 2 surgeons doing the switch in Australia--I went to the States to have the band removed and my switch done. If you have any other questions, I am happy to answer them.
