FORERUNNERS HEALTHCARE is the premier most Medical tourism company that provides international patients duodenal switch surgery in India.
Their website WWW.FORERUNNERSHEALTHCARE.COM is providing useful information to international patients about low cost surgery in India.

The duodenal switch is a three-part process requiring the following steps:

1. Removing 80% of the existing stomach, leaving a 120 cc capacity stomach pouch. This is not reversible.
2. Bypassing the upper portion of the small intestine, then connecting the lower portion of small intestine (ileum) directly to the duodenum at the exit of the stomach.
3. Connecting the bypassed section of small intestine, which carries necessary digestive juices, to the end section of the small intestine, thereby creating a relatively short "common limb" where food and digestive juices mix.



Key Factors in Duodenal Switch Weight-Loss Surgery



Although stomach-reduction plays an important role in weight-loss by limiting the amount of food a patient can consume, the greater weight-loss factor in the Duodenal Switch procedure is malabsorption, or the limitation of caloric absorption. Shortening the portion of the small intestine where digestive juices mix with food - also known as the common limb - allows patients to absorb less of the calories contained in the food they consume. To make Duodenal switch surgery in India easier, medical tourism of India offer package deals, arranging for visas, transportation, and translators.
