Understanding SADI-S Surgery
SADI-S, or Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy, is an advanced weight loss surgery designed for patients who need significant and durable results. This procedure combines the restrictive benefits of a gastric sleeve with a carefully measured intestinal bypass to reduce calorie absorption and enhance metabolic change.
By limiting how much you can eat and how many calories your body absorbs, SADI-S promotes substantial, long-term weight loss while also improving conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. For patients seeking one of the most powerful surgical options available, SADI-S offers a comprehensive approach to achieving meaningful and lasting health transformation.
How It Works
1
Sleeve Gastrectomy
The stomach is reduced to a narrow tube (sleeve), limiting food intake significantly
2
Duodenal Division
The duodenum is divided just past the stomach to redirect the digestive path
3
Single Intestinal Loop
A single loop of intestine is connected to the duodenum, reducing calorie and fat absorption
Exceptional Weight Loss
Lose 70-85% of excess weight within 12-18 months
Diabetes Resolution
Up to 90% resolution of type 2 diabetes in eligible patients
Durable Results
Strong long-term weight maintenance with proper lifestyle habits
Simplified Design
Single anastomosis means fewer surgical connections and lower complication risk

SADI-S Surgery Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about SADI-S surgery. Our team is here to address all your concerns and help you make an informed decision.
What is SADI-S surgery?
SADI-S stands for Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy. It’s a two-part procedure that first creates a sleeve gastrectomy (reducing stomach size), then bypasses a portion of the small intestine with a single surgical connection. This dual approach provides both restriction and malabsorption for powerful weight loss.
How is SADI-S different from gastric bypass?
Unlike traditional gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y) which requires two surgical connections (anastomoses), SADI-S uses only one. This simplifies the procedure, reduces operative time, and lowers the risk of internal hernias and marginal ulcers. SADI-S also preserves the pyloric valve, which can reduce dumping syndrome.
Am I a candidate for SADI-S?
SADI-S may be appropriate if you have a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35+ with serious weight-related health conditions. It’s also an excellent option as a revision procedure for patients who have had a previous sleeve gastrectomy with insufficient weight loss. A comprehensive evaluation will determine your candidacy.
How much weight can I expect to lose with SADI-S?
Most patients lose 70-85% of their excess weight within 12-18 months after SADI-S surgery. Studies show SADI-S often achieves comparable or greater weight loss than traditional gastric bypass, with particularly strong results for diabetes resolution.
What are the risks of SADI-S surgery?
As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Specific to SADI-S, there is a risk of nutritional deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins and protein), bile reflux, and loose stools. However, the single-anastomosis design reduces some risks associated with traditional bypass surgeries.
How long is recovery time?
Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-3 days and can return to work within 1-3 weeks depending on their job. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks. You’ll follow a specific diet progression and gradually increase activity under medical supervision.
Will I need vitamins and supplements after SADI-S?
Yes, lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation is essential after SADI-S. Because the procedure bypasses a significant portion of the small intestine, you’ll need a multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D, iron, vitamin B12, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, K). Regular lab monitoring is crucial.
Can SADI-S be done as a revision surgery?
Yes, SADI-S is an excellent revision option for patients who previously had a sleeve gastrectomy but didn’t achieve adequate weight loss or experienced weight regain. Since the sleeve is already in place, the surgeon only needs to add the intestinal bypass portion.
What can I eat after SADI-S surgery?
You’ll progress through dietary stages: clear liquids, full liquids, pureed foods, soft foods, and finally regular foods. Long-term, you’ll eat smaller protein-rich meals and need to limit high-fat foods to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. Our nutritionist provides detailed guidance throughout your journey.
How much does SADI-S surgery cost?
The cost varies based on insurance coverage and individual circumstances. Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medical criteria are met. SADI-S is increasingly recognized by insurers as an effective bariatric option. We’ll help verify your benefits and explore financing during your consultation.
