What is a duodenal switch? A duodenal switch is a very aggressive form of bariatric surgery, which is very, very uncommonly done in the UK or indeed around the world. It involves a sleeve gastrectomy, which is the operation that I have just explained, but also there is a bypass of a very substantial length of your small intestine. And that means that when you eat food, a lot of the calories that you eat will not be absorbed and will be excreted with your stool.
