This procedure involves reducing the stomach's capacity and rerouting the small intestine to promote significant weight loss through both restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms. For those seeking the best duodeno ileostomy surgery in Ahmedabad, this approach offers promising results.

Dietary Modifications
Patients are usually required to follow a specific diet to reduce body fat, particularly around the liver, to lower surgical risks.
Medication Adjustments
Any necessary modifications in medication intake, particularly those that may affect the surgery or recovery process, are managed by healthcare providers.
Your Surgery: What to Expect
The Surgical Procedure
The surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques and involves:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: About 75-80% of the stomach is removed, creating a tubular “sleeve” which limits food intake.
- Duodeno-Ileostomy: The duodenum, or the first portion of the small intestine, is directly connected to the ileum, bypassing a significant length of the intestine which reduces calorie and nutrient absorption significantly. This procedure is an advanced form of duodenal ileostomy surgery.
