The duodenal switch restricts the amount of food that you are able to eat, as well as restricts the amount of fat that the body digests. The DS has a 4-5 ounce long vertical pouch, as well as the duodenum connecting to the last five feet of the small intesting. This results in the separation of food and juices for more than 12 feet. Dr. Cirangle has done the most laparoscopic surgical weight loss DS procedures in the State of Hawaii with the lowest complication rate. His weight loss clinic has the most comprehensive weight loss plan with a full time therapist and dietitian. Video courtesy of Ethicon.

Essentially, the Food (or Chyme) the blue stuff in the video, is unable to mix with secretions from the pancreas and gall bladder (Bile), the yellow stuff. This Bile contains enzymes that digest fats. The duodenum is bypassed, which means that the chyme from the stomach is moved straight from the stomach to the last part of the ileum, onto the colon and thus outside of the body. This allows for both reduced ability to eat high amounts of food (Size reduction), and the inability to digest fats.
