title: Why the Operation I Prefer is Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD).
abstract: The author discusses why his operation of choice is biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). BPD is the most effective in obtaining long-term weight loss and permits unchanged eating habits. Although BPD is technically demanding, revisions for protein malnutrition or stomal ulcer have not been difficult and have become infrequent. However, lifelong follow-up must be guaranteed.
