Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Compare 2 different ways of performing the Duodenal Switch. A standard 100cm common channel and 150 cm alimentary limb vs a tailored small bowel partition. To determine which technique provides superior weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities.

In order to tailor the small bowel the total small bowel length is measured intra-operatively. A common channel of 10% of the total small bowel length (but not less than 100cm) is fashioned. The alimentary limb is 40% of the total small bowel length. The small bowel anastamosis is performed in a side to side stapled fashion.

This is a descrition of the tailored small bowel partition. Approximate length of surgery 3-4 hours.

Comparator / control treatment
Total small bowel length is measured. A common channel of 100cm and an alimentary limb of 150 cm is made. The small bowel anastamosis is performed in a side to side stapled fashion.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Appropriate statistical analysis will be performed at the end of the trial period.
Sample size has been calculated in consultation with a statistician (Dr Lifeng Zhou, WDHB). On the basis of an expected 20% difference in weight loss between the 2 groups at 2 years; using a 2 sided statistical test with a power of 80% and an a risk of 0.05, a sample size of 25 patents per group would be required assuming 100% follow up. Allowing for a 20% participant drop out rate, 30 participants per arm would be required
