Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes. My endocrinologist has recommended that I undergo bariatric surgery. Could you please advise me on whether this is necessary and how it might help in controlling my diabetes and hypertension?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Bariatric or metabolic surgeries help achieve long-term remission from type 2 diabetes. These procedures are scientifically proven, very safe, and highly effective. They result in sustained weight loss for individuals struggling with excess weight and can also lead to long-term remission from co-morbid conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension) and sleep apnea.

Bariatric or metabolic surgeries alter the hormones that regulate body fat stores, effectively resetting the set point for fat storage to a lower level. These same hormonal changes are responsible for remission from conditions like diabetes. Depending on your weight and the presence or absence of other medical issues, I recommend different surgical options. Sleeve gastrectomy combined with bypass surgeries tends to be more powerful and durable.

Thank you.
