The Single-Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass, or SADI, is an advanced weight loss procedure designed for individuals struggling with severe obesity or those seeking an alternative to traditional bariatric surgeries. SADI combines the benefits of sleeve gastrectomy with a simplified intestinal bypass, reducing food intake and limiting calorie absorption. Dr. Michael Choi, a trusted bariatric surgeon in South Florida, offers SADI surgery to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve their quality of life.
SADI surgery is a modified version of the duodenal switch that simplifies the procedure while maintaining its effectiveness. The surgery begins with a sleeve gastrectomy, where a portion of the stomach is removed to reduce its size and limit food intake. Next, a single connection (anastomosis) is created between the duodenum and the ileum, bypassing a portion of the small intestine to reduce calorie and nutrient absorption.
This dual mechanism of reducing stomach capacity and altering digestion leads to significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. SADI is less complex than the traditional duodenal switch, making it a safer and more efficient option for many patients.
SADI surgery offers life-changing benefits for individuals struggling with obesity. This advanced procedure not only supports significant weight loss but also improves overall health and reduces the risks associated with obesity.
Patients typically lose 70–80% of their excess weight within the first 1–2 years after surgery, achieving sustainable results.
SADI effectively addresses conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and sleep apnea, reducing or eliminating the need for medications.
Compared to the traditional duodenal switch, SADI involves a single anastomosis, making it a less complex surgery with shorter operating times and reduced risks.
SADI surgery is suitable for individuals with severe obesity or those seeking an alternative to traditional bariatric procedures. Dr. Michael Choi evaluates each patient’s medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health to determine if SADI is the right option.
