The endoscopic finding of a narrowed area at the D1-D2 junction (duodenal junction) and the inability to pass the scope beyond this point suggest a potential blockage in the duodenum. The doctor's recommendation of bypass surgery likely refers to a surgical procedure to create a new pathway for food and fluids to bypass the obstruction, potentially a duodenojejunal bypass. This could be necessary to relieve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain caused by the blockage
