How It Works
As like other bariatric surgeries, it is also done laparoscopically with the help of small 4-5 tiny incisions.
Stomach Reduction
About 70% of the stomach is removed with the help of staplers. It is done quite similar to sleeve gastrectomy but the amount of restriction is very less when compared to sleeve gastrectomy.
Intestinal Bypass
Just below the stomach, the intestine is divided or cut preserving the pylorus or valve which controls passage of food from stomach to intestine. A new connection between stomach and intestine is created after bypassing approximately 250 cm of intestine.
Advantages of Duodenal Jejunal Bypass
More Eating Freedom
Although this procedure has both restrictive and malabsorptive elements, it is mainly a malabsorptive procedure. As a result, patient can eat a larger quantity of food when compared to sleeve gastrectomy.
Excellent Long-term Results
It has excellent long-term results and the success rate is as good as gastric bypass both in terms of weight loss as well as resolution of obesity related health problems.
Profound Hormonal Changes
It produces profound hormonal changes which reduce the appetite, causes secretion of insulin and control of diabetes.
Stomach Removed from Body
The excised stomach is removed from the body. This does not happen with mini gastric bypass or standard gastric bypass. Sometimes these remnants of stomach may develop ulcer or even cancer which come into notice after a long time. It is also especially good for patients having a history of gastric cancer in the family.
Reduced Dumping Syndrome
The pylorus or the valve controlling the passage of food is maintained in this procedure. As a result, the incidence of dumping syndrome is reduced which is more often seen in gastric bypass.
Duodenal Jejunal Bypass and Diabetes
Duodenal jejunal bypass procedure is a very good option in patients who are diabetic but not very obese. This bariatric procedure certainly has the benefits of gastric bypass but does not cause dumping or significant weight loss.
This procedure causes marked hormonal changes in the body which not only increases the secretion of insulin but also decreases the production of hormones which act against insulin. As a result, patient experiences a very good resolution of diabetes within a short span of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about duodenal jejunal bypass surgery
Duodenal jejunal bypass, also known as single anastomosis gastric bypass, is a bariatric surgery that combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass. About 70% of the stomach is removed, and the intestine is divided preserving the pylorus, creating a new connection after bypassing approximately 250 cm of intestine.
The procedure is performed laparoscopically with 4-5 tiny incisions. About 70% of the stomach is removed (similar to sleeve gastrectomy but with less restriction), and the intestine is divided below the stomach, preserving the pylorus. A new connection is created after bypassing approximately 250 cm of intestine, creating both restrictive and malabsorptive effects.
Advantages include: more eating freedom compared to sleeve gastrectomy, excellent long-term results similar to gastric bypass, profound hormonal changes that reduce appetite and control diabetes, the excised stomach is removed from the body (reducing risk of ulcers/cancer), and reduced dumping syndrome due to preserved pylorus.
Duodenal jejunal bypass has excellent long-term results with success rates as good as gastric bypass in terms of weight loss. The combination of restriction and malabsorption (bypassing 250 cm of intestine) makes it highly effective for significant and sustained weight loss.
Yes, duodenal jejunal bypass is particularly effective for diabetic patients, even those who are not very obese. The procedure causes marked hormonal changes that increase insulin secretion and decrease hormones that act against insulin, resulting in very good resolution of diabetes within a short span of time.
While both remove part of the stomach, duodenal jejunal bypass removes less (70% vs 75-80%) and includes intestinal bypass (250 cm), giving patients more eating freedom. It also produces more profound hormonal changes and has better long-term results for diabetes resolution.
Key differences: duodenal jejunal bypass preserves the pylorus (reducing dumping syndrome), removes the excised stomach from the body (reducing cancer risk), bypasses more intestine (250 cm vs ~100 cm), and is particularly good for diabetic patients who are not very obese.
Yes, duodenal jejunal bypass is a very safe and effective operation when performed on suitable candidates by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Kapil Agrawal. It is a modification of the Duodenal Switch operation that eliminates the severe malabsorption and side effects of the original procedure.
Most patients are discharged within 24 hours after duodenal jejunal bypass surgery. The procedure is performed laparoscopically with minimal incisions, allowing for quick recovery and early discharge.
Full recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks with gradual return to normal activities. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on their job requirements. The laparoscopic approach minimizes post-operative discomfort and speeds recovery.
Yes, lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation is essential after duodenal jejunal bypass surgery due to the malabsorptive component (250 cm of intestine bypassed). Your healthcare team will provide specific recommendations for supplements including B12, iron, calcium, and multivitamins to prevent deficiencies.
Good candidates include: patients who are diabetic but not very obese (this procedure is especially beneficial for diabetes resolution), patients with a family history of gastric cancer (since the stomach is removed), patients seeking excellent long-term weight loss results, and those who want more eating freedom than sleeve gastrectomy provides.
