What Is BPD/DS?

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) is a complex bariatric surgery that effectively reduces calorie and fat absorption, leading to substantial weight loss. The procedure consists of two main components:

Sleeve Gastrectomy:
Approximately 70–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a narrow, tube-like “sleeve” that limits food intake.
Intestinal Bypass:
The small intestine is rerouted, so that food bypasses the initial segment, significantly reducing the absorption of calories and fat.

Pre-Operative Procedures

Medical Evaluation:
We perform comprehensive blood tests, advanced imaging, and nutritional screenings to evaluate your overall health and ensure you’re a suitable candidate for BPD/DS.
Dietary Changes:
You will follow a pre-operative high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet designed to reduce liver size, which makes the surgery safer and more effective. Patients must also fast for 12 hours before the procedure.
Lifestyle Counseling:
Our team provides thorough counseling to help you commit to lifelong dietary changes and supplementation, essential for managing reduced nutrient absorption post-surgery.

The Surgical Procedure

During BPD/DS, our experienced surgeons at Baskent Hospital perform a sleeve gastrectomy to reduce the stomach size, followed by rerouting a portion of the small intestine to limit calorie absorption. This dual approach is especially effective for patients with extreme obesity, offering the best long-term resolution for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

Hospital Stay:
Patients are typically monitored in the hospital for 3–5 days following surgery for optimal recovery and early complication management.
Diet Transition:
- Weeks 1–2: Start with clear liquids.
- Weeks 3–4: Transition to soft foods.
- Week 5+: Gradually introduce small, low-fat, high-protein solid meals.
Vitamin & Mineral Supplements:
Lifelong supplementation with vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, iron, and calcium is crucial to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Physical Activity:
Light walking is encouraged from Day 1 to prevent blood clots, with strength training introduced after 6 weeks to maintain muscle mass.
