Take Control of Type 2 Diabetes with Bariatric Surgery

What Is Metabolic (Bariatric) Surgery?

Metabolic or bariatric surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that help patients lose weight and regulate hormones affecting glucose and metabolism. Common procedures include:

  • Gastric Bypass (RYGB): Alters stomach and intestines to change digestion and hormone secretion.
  • Sleeve Gastrectomy: Reduces stomach size and decreases ghrelin (hunger hormone).
  • Duodenal Switch / SADI-S: Combines sleeve with intestinal bypass; highly effective for diabetes remission.

Why Is Bariatric Surgery Effective for Type 2 Diabetes?

Unlike diet or medication, metabolic surgery targets the root causes of type 2 diabetes by changing the way the gastrointestinal system processes food and glucose. Results include:
Up to 83% remission in patients with gastric bypass (Pories et al.)
Rapid improvement in blood sugar levels, even before weight loss occurs
Reduced insulin resistance and better beta cell function
