| Anatomy |
Small 1 ounce pouch

digestive juices are separated for 3-5 feet. |
Long narrow vertical
pouch measuring 2-3 oz (60-100cc). Identical to the
duodenal switch pouch but smaller. No intestinal
bypass performed. |
An adjustable silicone

"Dumping Syndrome" when sugar or fats are eaten
|

Weight Loss
United States Average statistical loss at 10 years |
70% loss of excess weight
More failures (loss of <50% excess weight) than
the DS
|
60%-70% excess weight loss at 2 years
Long term results not available at this time.
|
60% excess weight loss.
Requires the most effort of all procedures to be
successful.
|
Long Term Dietary
Modification
(Excessive carbohydrate/high calorie intake will
defeat all procedures) |
Patients must consume less than 800 calories per
day in the first 12-18 months; 1000-1200
thereafter?3 small high protein meals per day
Must avoid sugar and fats to prevent "Dumping
Syndrome"
Vitamin deficiency/protein deficiency usually
preventable with supplements
|
Must consume less than 600-800 calories per day
for the first 24 months, 1000-1200 thereafter
No dumping, no diarrhea
Weight regain may be more likely than in other
procedures if dietary modifications not adopted for
life
|
Must consume less than 800 calories per day for
18-36 months, 1000-1200 thereafter.
Certain foods can get "stuck" if eaten (rice,
bread, dense meats, nuts, popcorn) causing pain and
vomiting.
No drinking with meals
