Really, what’s the other 20 odd feet there for? My understanding of its function is a little more like this:
The duodenum is largely responsible for the breakdown of food in the small intestine. Brunner’s glands, which secrete mucus, are found in the duodenum. The duodenum wall is composed of a very thin layer of cells that form the muscularis mucosae.
The duodenum also regulates the rate of emptying of the stomach via hormonal pathways. Secretin and cholecystokinin are released from cells in the duodenal epithelium in response to acidic and fatty stimuli present there when the pyloris opens and releases gastric chyme into the duodenum for further digestion. These cause the liver and gall bladder to release bile, and the pancreas to release bicarbonate and digestive enzymes such as trypsin, lipase and amylase into the duodenum as they are needed.

I’ll take the non-surgical approach for my headache please.
My sister had the gastric bypass and she’s off all of her medications that she had to take before. She no longer has diabetes, no heart problems, no high blood pressure and only has to take a few dietary supplements. Nothing like all of the maintenance meds she was on before.
“Surgery is not the best answer to diabetes, or even one that will work long term. Exercise and diet are the best answers.”
There are many patients that can’t or won’t do the common sense things. And there are patients that do lose weight, watch their diet and exercise religiously and still have poorly controlled NIDDM.
“The dudodenum is where the majority of absorbtion of nutirents takes place. The surgery might “cure” diabetes but you will need to be on pills and shots for the rest of your ife. “
Shots and pills for what? Vitamins may be needed but for someone that cannot keep their sugars below 200, that might be a good trade off.

Unfortunately, the long term treatment for diabetes often includes cutting off your feet. Other common outcomes are renal failure, blindness, heart attack and stroke.
I am a postmenopausal woman and a post-op GBS. I take a daily multivitamin, extra calcium and a sublingual B-12. I did that even before surgery. It’s not a big deal.
