Introduction to Metabolic Surgery for Diabetes Diabetes currently affects more than 150 million people worldwide and that number is expected to quickly increase. Over 90% of people with the disease have the Type 2 form, which is associated with obesity and overweight, lack of physical activity, family history and older age.

Dietary and medical therapy for severe obesity has limited short-term success and almost nonexistent long-term success. Therefore, obesity surgery (also called bariatric surgery) has been a popular treatment in the war against obesity. Weight loss surgery generally results in greater and sustained weight loss than conventional treatment, and leads to improvements in quality of life and obesity related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea (when breathing stops for short periods during sleep) and many others.

You are eligible for metabolic surgery if your Body mass index (BMI) is 40 or more, which is about 45 kg (100 pounds) overweight for men and 35 kg (80 pounds) for women; or BMI between 35 and 39.9 and a serious obesity-related health problem such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or severe sleep apnea.

(Metabolic Surgery Procedure)

Bariatric surgery also functions as a metabolic procedure and helps in improvement and/or remission of diabetes and other metabolic diseases in the long term. Bariatric surgery procedures reduce the caloric intake and also promote rapid transit of food through the gastro intestinal tract. This leads to increased production of hormones which stimulate insulin production from the pancreas.

Also, weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and increases the action of insulin within the body tissues. Both these actions combine to reduce blood glucose levels and help in the control of diabetes.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) involves encircling the upper part of the stomach with a silicone adjustable band with an inflatable balloon at the inner surface connected with a port placed subcutaneously, through which pressure on the vagal afferent intraganglionic laminar endings (IGLEs) can be adjusted by adding or retracting fluid.

Bariatric surgery can also prevent/delay the new onset of diabetes in high risk individuals and is also protective for hyperlipidemia and cardiac disease. Different bariatric procedures vary in their metabolic efficacy but in general bypass procedures have higher metabolic potential compared to purely restrictive procedures.
