Duodenojejunal Bypass (DJB) in India

Duodenojejunal Bypass (DJB) is a metabolic surgical procedure that reroutes food from the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) to the jejunum (the next section). It is designed to influence blood sugar regulation and may be combined with sleeve gastrectomy for selected patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Key Benefits of DJB Surgery

• May improve blood sugar control in selected patients.
• May support weight loss when combined with sleeve gastrectomy.
• May help manage certain obesity-related metabolic conditions.
• Can potentially reduce the need for diabetes medication under medical supervision.

Who Can Get DJB Surgery?

DJB may be considered for selected patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly those who have difficulty achieving adequate blood sugar control with conventional treatment. Eligibility depends on BMI, diabetes history, overall health, and specialist assessment.

Procedure and Recovery

The procedure is generally performed using laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia. The surgeon creates a connection that allows food to bypass the duodenum. Recovery involves a gradual diet plan, blood sugar monitoring, and regular medical follow-up. The exact technique depends on whether DJB is performed alone or combined with sleeve gastrectomy.
