What is a biliopancreatic diversion and do I qualify for it? A biliopancreatic diversion or otherwise known as a duodenal switch is a surgical procedure that is done to help you lose excess weight and reduce your risk of potentially life-threatening weight-related health problems. This is one of the surgical options available for weight loss but isn't suitable for everyone who is severely overweight. You will need to have exhausted all other non-surgical measures for weight loss and you will have an extensive screening process to see if you qualify.
