The former player of the Brazilian soccer team and currently Senator of Brazil, Romário, went through surgery to reduce type 2 diabetes.

The ‘in a low voice’, with this surgical procedure, managed to lose 10 kilos.For doctors who did this work, the method known by Ileal interposition - despite being one of the few options that can help people fight type 2 diabetes, is risky.

According to experts, the procedure becomes even more dangerous due to the fact that this technique is a new experience in the scientific world.In addition, #Romário was 20 kilos below the optimal for the realization of surgery, therefore, the procedure performed in the ex-player was risky.

According to endocrinologists, the body mass index (BMI) of the Senator of the Republic was below the optimal for the realization of surgery less than 35. Romário measures 1.69 meters high and would need more than 20 kilos forPerform surgery with greater peace of mind.However, the option to continue with the procedure itself knowing that it would be risky, it seems, it worked.

Romário has type 2 diabetes, which is the most common in adults.This type of diabetes leaves the body with little insulin - a hormone that is produced by the human body - and this causes glucose to enter the cells without proper regulation, which is made by this hormone.Despite having had a life as an athlete and, apparently, not being above the weight, Romário is a carrier of this type of diabetes.

According to some experts sought by the extra portal, the ileal interposition takes risks to the patient at the time of surgery, as can also cause some side effects on the human body.

One of them is the decrease in the capacity of the body of people who go through this type of surgery to absorb some fundamental nutrients to life.In this case, which is already happening with the ex-player, the person needs to take some vitamin complexes for the rest of the life.In addition, Romário will have to do the exams regularly.

Great Romario.

In translation they have also translated their nickname literally.They call him "O Baixinho" I think, for his 1.69

Thanks @Fer!
