In Mexico, the Duodenal Switch procedure encompasses both restriction and malabsorption techniques. Initially, about 60 to 70% of the stomach is surgically removed, resembling the process in Gastric Sleeve surgery.
Additionally, the operation has a second component aimed at changing the body’s process of processing food. Through a rearrangement of the small intestine, the surgeon ensures that the path of the food is separate from the location where digestive enzymes are released. As a result, this design significantly reduces the absorption of calorie-rich fats and sugars.
Duodenal Switch has two mechanisms of action:

The people at Trevita were the absolute best! I did not feel uncomfortable due to language barriers or any other part of our visit! Dr. Sandy was so down to earth and easy to talk to. She helped my mom get her meal from Uber Eats. Enrique and Fernanda were also very helpful with information and patient care. The hotel was great and we took advantage of the massage services at the hotel. I would recommend Trevita to anyone considering this journey.
I had my gastric bypass on 10/10 and I’m already down 35 pounds. When I arrived I was met at the airport by a wonderful lady who took care of our bags and took up to the Quartz hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was super nice and accommodating. The medical facility was as nice as anything in the states and the nurses were always on top of when you needed to take medications. Dr. Sandy was amazing and answered all my questions before I made my decision to go with them to a week after. The Trevita team was really great. Most of people there spoke perfect English and if not there was Google translate. We felt safe around the areas for my support person to go get Tacos or go to the grocery store near by. They also sent us home with medications that were needed back in the states for som much cheaper.My only regret is not doing this sooner.
Wow what a wonderful experience I had with TreVita!!! I could not have asked for nicer, more helpful, or more informative people!! I would highly recommend using their surgery or bariatric services!! And a huge shout out to Ms Eliza as she was GREAT!! Thank you TreVita for helping me become a more healthy version of me!!
TreVita was very accommodating and I would recommend them for bariatric surgery 100 times over. I felt safe, secure, welcome, and taken care of!
Working with Trevita to get the surgery that I needed was an easy and great process! I would highly recommend it!! The team from Fernanda, Elise, Dr. Martinez and all of the staff at the medical center wonderful and I can not say enough about them. I was very nervous at first but my nerves soon melted away with the great care I got. I was taken care of from the time I got to the hotel and even now I have them when I need them a month after my surgery. The medical center and staff are top notch!!! Better than most in the US!!! I want to say a huge Thank you to the Trevita team for making my surgery such a great experience and helping me get healthy!! If you are interested in bariatric surgery definitely go with Trevita!

Duodenal Switch is a powerful weight loss surgery that combines two techniques: a sleeve gastrectomy to reduce stomach size, and an intestinal bypass to limit calorie absorption. It helps patients lose more weight than other bariatric procedures and is especially effective for those with a high BMI or severe metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.
Most patients lose 70–85% of their excess body weight within 18–24 months after surgery. It offers one of the highest long-term weight loss rates among all bariatric procedures.
Unlike gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy alone, the Duodenal Switch combines both restriction and malabsorption. This means you’ll eat less and absorb fewer calories, making it especially effective for long-term weight loss and managing conditions like diabetes.
