New&Improved 1,780 Posted June 3, 2020 Duo switch should lose quicker bit can have issues with deficiencies more so than a bypass as it is more aggressive. I had the bypass and I've lost over 150lbs already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catwoman7 11,220 Posted June 3, 2020 most people lose more weight with the DS, and it's easier to maintain your loss, but like Superman said, there's a greater chance of Vitamin deficiencies with it since A LOT more of your small intestine is bypassed. But other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you. I know some DS'ers have to educate their PCP's and other doctors on the DS when things happen because it's not a common surgery - whereas RNY is very common so doctors are going to be pretty familiar with that (if this is even an issue for you...). I don't know - they're both good surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Circlesis 59 Posted June 3, 2020 My opinion DS, just going by the Numbers and long term weight loss maintenance. Full disclosure I am considering a sleeve to DS revision myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
