Why does a patient with a duodenal switch bariatric surgery maintain satiety despite a reduced stomach size?

💡 Explanation

The duodenal switch enhances GLP-1 secretion because the undigested food reaches the distal small intestine more quickly, therefore stimulating L-cells to release GLP-1. This leads to greater satiety, rather than decreased vagal nerve stimulation or leptin resistance.
