The bariatric surgery what it does is reduce body weight, as a consequence insulin makes much more effect, or decreases insulin resistance, which is the same for the case. Therefore, in practice to certain patients with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes, the disease is eliminated .... I resist saying cure.
I have informed this surgery and it is not at all a surgery that you can do to eat again what is previously oriented towards morbid obesity and the operation has large risks.
Copy and hit: Link ... above In patients with type 2 diabetes, bariatric surgery allows the remission of diabetes or an important improvement of metabolic control. Many endocrinologists are reluctant to advise it, even in patients with diabetes and a BMI; 35 kg/m2, using the lack of quality studies, the perception that surgery is nothing more than a means to motivate the patient tomodify unhealthy lifestyle habits, and the risks inherent to bariatric surgery.
On the contrary, for the surgeon type 2 diabetes is an operable disease regardless of the patient's BMI.In this review we discussed the available data on the evolution of patients with an BMI above or below 35 kg/m2.
The data suggest that bariatric surgery could be considered as an option in the therapeutic algorithm of type 2 in patients with a BMI & GT; 35 kg/m2. Given the epidemic character of the increase in type 2 diabetes, it is very unlikely that surgery becomes the treatment of choice.Anyway, if studies show it, it could also be an option for patients selected with an BMI between 30 and 35 kg/m2.
Risks: those of any surgical intervention, especially bleeding and infections and above all a bad choice of the doctor who recommends this technique (not only depends on the BMI but also on the presence/absence of other diseases such as thyroid)
