Metabolic surgery what is it?
Metabolic surgery indications
- Diabetes Mellitus type II.
- Grade 2 obesity.
- With at least 10 years of evolution.
- Age over 18 years and under 70 years.
Types of metabolic surgery
It could be said that the types of metabolic surgery are those that are aimed at promoting weight reduction.
A restrictive option would be the gastric sleeve as poor absorption in the case of gastric bypass or they also call it metabolic bypass.
In other words, it could be said that bariatric surgery, whether sleeve or bypass, can cure type 2 diabetes mellitus and achieve similar metabolic results.
However, it is the bariatric surgeon who decides between bypass or sleeve according to your diseases associated with diabetes and obesity.
Difference between bariatric and metabolic surgery
The difference lies in a management of concepts because people think that metabolic surgery is a different procedure than bypass or sleeve.
In reality, what is achieved with these procedures is for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus the solution to their problem.
Consequences of metabolic surgery
- Stricture also called intestinal obstruction.
- Rapid gastric evacuation that produces diarrhea.
- Blushing, dizziness, nausea or vomiting.
Frequent questions
Yes, that is why we talk about metabolic bypass that causes the intestine to produce incretin hormones that stimulate the pancreas to stabilize or reactivate the production of insulin and stabilize blood glucose values.
After the metabolic operation, the digested food reaches the intestine faster and is therefore less digested, which stimulates the intestine to release certain hormones that reactivate the pancreas’ insulin production.
Yes, and insulin resistance is improved, secondly, with weight loss, the amount of body fat is reduced and insulin behaves more effectively when there is less body fat.
You may be among the 90% of operated patients who manage to control their diabetes, as well as the 80% of those undergoing metabolic surgery who will no longer need to take medications.
Insulin resistance occurs when there is excess glucose in the blood that blocks the cells’ ability to process, absorb sugar and convert it into energy.
This long-term condition predisposes your body to prediabetes that worsens when you gain weight.
With obesity everything gets worse because excess fat makes the little insulin insufficient and therefore type 2 diabetes gains strength and establishes itself.
- Reactivate insulin production in the pancreas.
- Stop insulin resistance.
- Reduce excess weight.
- As a consequence, type 3 diabetes is stopped, weight is reduced and metabolic stability is achieved.
