It is experimental. Long term results unknown. Insurance likely won't cover it if they find out he did that.
And because I don't like how it is being passed off as "a modified DS." It isn't.
Compare DS to SADI on this page: http://www.dssurgery.com/procedures/compare-weight-loss-surgical-procedures.php
The comparison is very soft-pedelled:
(AW CRAP - again, it looked properly formatted when I copied it, but now it doesn't - and even after I tried to fix it, it still is screwed up)
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
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
