Duodeno-Jejunal Bypass (DJB) is a metabolic surgery that reroutes food from the duodenum directly to the jejunum, bypassing part of the small intestine. It helps improve blood sugar control and metabolic health, with weight loss varying depending on the procedure and patient.
DJB-SG combines sleeve gastrectomy with bypass of the duodenum to the distal part of the proximal small bowel, producing strong metabolic and hormonal effects. This procedure is particularly effective at improving Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance — targeting the root metabolic dysfunction.
DJB, commonly performed as a metabolic procedure for control of diabetes by performing a sleeve and adding a bypass between proximal to distal small intestine and help with control of obesity related diseases along with significant lasting weight loss.
DJB-SG is recommended for patients where metabolic disease resolution is the primary objective, alongside meaningful weight loss — particularly those with Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
DJB-SG works through a combination of gastric restriction and duodenal bypass, producing powerful hormonal and metabolic changes that go far beyond simple calorie restriction.
The stomach is reduced to a sleeve, restricting food intake and reducing hunger hormones.
Food bypasses the duodenum to the distal proximal small bowel, triggering strong metabolic changes.
Enhanced incretin response improves insulin secretion and glucose metabolism fundamentally.
Specifically engineered to target obesity-related Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
DJB-SG delivers strong metabolic outcomes alongside effective weight loss. Patients at Baros Apollo can expect:
