Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy
Choose the San Diego bariatric surgeon who's right for you.
Patients considering bariatric surgery have several options. At Sharp Coronado Hospital, we are proud to offer a procedure designed to help patients who need to lose the most weight: single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy, referred to as the SADI-S or SADI.
There are two steps to the SADI procedure:
Your surgeon performs a vertical sleeve gastrectomy to reduce the size of your stomach and the amount of food it can hold.
The lower part of the stomach is then disconnected from the upper part of the small intestine and reconnected to a loop of intestine further down. These changes in anatomy create significant hormonal changes in the body that drastically improve a patient’s metabolism and decrease absorption of fats and calories.
As with all surgical procedures, there are advantages and disadvantages. At Sharp, we believe it's important you are aware of both.
