Wow. Thanks for sharing! That is so helpful, as is the visual comparison of SADI versus DS that can be accessed through the link at the bottom of the article: http://www.dssurgery.com/procedures/compare-weight-loss-surgical-procedures.php

Interesting. Also interesting is that his "summarization" of the 2 procedures are the same on his web site.

The summarization has been updated in the visual side by side comparison of SADI to DS - giving a more robust insight into the differences between procedures and the risk/reward equation : http://www.dssurgery.com/procedures/compare-weight-loss-surgical-procedures.php

Excerpt (emphasis added to highlight differences):

Duodenal Switch

• Approximately 75% of the stomach is removed (irreversible)
• The small bowel rerouted to limit carbohydrate, fat and protein absorption
• Gallbladder removed
• Small Bowel in two parallel channels
• Long term outcome known
• No Chance of Bile reflux

SADI

• Approximately 75% of the stomach is removed (irreversible)
• The small bowel rerouted to limit Fat and protein absorption
• Gallbladder removed
• Small bowel is maintained in one loop.
• The long term outcome is unknown
• Theoretical chance of Bile reflux gastritis
