How is Type 2 diabetes Surgery Performed?

Type 2 diabetes surgery is performed on patients who meet the appropriate conditions. During the completion of the eligibility conditions and preparation for the operation, the patient is kept under observation with dozens of different tests.

In addition, thanks to these tests, the appropriate method is determined. The content and mechanism of action of the surgery works as follows:

Type 2 Diabetes  surgeries are applied with closed technique regardless of the method. This ensures that the operation is more comfortable and the healing process is more comfortable and shorter.

  • In both methods, primarily stomach intervention is performed. Most of the stomach is cut with special surgical tools. There are also structures that secrete hormones that increase the feeling of hunger on the cut stomach structure.
  • After removing most of the stomach, the remaining part is turned into a tube.
  • In order to eliminate leaks in the stomach, the remaining area after cutting is closed with staples.
  • In the second stage of the operation, there is an intervention to the intestines. In this section, there are applications that vary according to the method.
  • In transit bipartition surgery, the small intestine is divided into two, and food is passed through two different ways.
  • First of all, the small intestine is divided into two parts (usually the middle part) that can vary from person to person. The upper end of the lower small intestine is connected to the stomach as a second route.
  • The lower end of the dormant upper intestine is connected to the newly formed intestinal tract so that it is one hundred centimeters below.
  • In other words, the small intestine, which is the main part of the digestive system, is constructed in two different ways. The benefit of this construction is to accelerate digestion and change the hormone balance.
  •  In the other method, ileal interposition, the hormone balance is intervened in a different method.
  • After the intervention to the stomach is completed, a small piece of the lower part of the small intestine is cut completely. Likewise, a small piece at the upper end is cut completely. The piece cut from top to bottom; The part cut from the bottom is also transferred to the top. In addition, the connection of the duodenum with the stomach is completely cut off. The reconstructed small intestine is attached to the stomach.
  • After this application, insulin hormone is secreted much earlier and in a much greater amount.
  • After both operations, the stomach is closed with appropriate methods and the operation is completed.
  • Type 2 Diabetes  surgery is performed within these stages in its most general application. Since every diabetic is special, different steps can be found in the planning phase.

How the operation will be performed is determined only after a detailed examination.

Surgery for Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a disorder that greatly disrupts the comfort of life. It is necessary to intervene with diets and sports exercises, not to disrupt the controls and pay attention to obesity. In cases where these do not work, drug treatments are applied for metabolic disorders.

In cases where drug treatments are insufficient, the option of surgical intervention is discussed. In other words, it is possible to say that metabolic surgery operations are the last resort.

Type 2 Diabetes (transit bipartition) surgery is the preferred and developed metabolic surgery method in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes disease. The last 1/3 of the operation carried out over the small intestines is connected to the stomach as an alternative. In this way, the control of diabetes is ensured by stimulating the small intestine hormones.

It is a successful surgical method with its restrictive (restrictive) and malabsorptive (absorption preventing) properties. If it is necessary to open a restrictive (restrictive) more, it is one of the surgical operations that result in removal of 70% of the stomach.

The main reason for intervention to the stomach during surgery is to reduce the stomach volume and specifically to reduce the secretion of the ghrelin hormone. In other words, obesity is prevented. The small intestine is intervened to regulate digestion and change the hormone balance. According to the method applied, either the direction of the intestine is changed or a second intestinal tract is opened.

As a result, insulin hormone secretion increases and secretion of hormones that suppress insulin decreases. Digestion is accelerated, consuming more food than necessary is prevented.

Today, transit bipartition is used as the most advanced method for type 2 diabetes, but obesity surgery is applied to patients who are not suitable for this. There are many options for surgery to be applied.

However, you should know that it is not possible to perform metabolic surgery (diabetes surgery) for anyone who wants. First of all, people with Type 2 diabetes are sought. Afterwards, a list of conditions starting from the diet of the patient and continuing is observed. Type 2 diabetes surgery, that is, metabolic surgery, is applied to patients who meet all relevant conditions.

Can bariatric surgery cure type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

Diabetes is a highly dangerous metabolic disease that has the most dangerous consequences after the age of forties. It seriously affects capillaries, other vascular structures, eyes, heart and kidney health.

In today’s medical facilities, it is not possible to treat the diabetes type called Type 1 with metabolic surgery.

Apart from this, it is possible to perform surgical intervention within the scope of metabolic surgery for Type 2 diabetes patients. Still, there is a group of patients who are not suitable for surgical intervention for Type 2 Diabetes treatment, even though they have Type 2 diabetes.

Many patients are eliminated during the control of suitability for the operation, and many patients are referred for other treatment methods. In this context, it will be possible to say whether a patient can be treated in the field of metabolic surgery or obesity surgery only after detailed tests.

As a result, not all diabetes patients undergo surgical intervention. Type 2 Diabetes surgeries are applied only to some of Type 2 diabetes patients.

How can a bariatric weight loss surgery help diabetes?

Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric surgery is an operation and a surgical treatment method performed on the digestive system to help an overweight obese person lose weight. It is also known as obesity surgery.

It can also be used as a preparation for a second surgery such as gastric bypass by providing weight loss for overweight patients in a 12-18 month period. Since the intestines are not affected by the surgical process, there is no absorption problem.

Cons: Sleeve Gastrectmoy surgery is irreversible.

Risks: Typical risks include infection, leak or blood clot problem.

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-N-Y Gastric Bypass)?

It is a surgical procedure that restricts both food intake and food absorption. A small part is separated at the stomach entrance and sutured to the small intestine. As the stomach shrinks, food intake is restricted. With this operation, a new shortcut for meals is created by bypassing a part of the stomach and small intestine. Skipping these parts of the digestive system means the body absorbs fewer calories.

Pros: Weight loss is faster than other operations. Weight loss may continue for up to 2 years after the operation. Due to rapid weight loss, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, sleep apnea, etc. Weight control can be achieved for a longer period of time.

Cons: Since the food cannot be absorbed as before, it puts you at risk of not getting enough nutrients. As a result, it can lead to anemia with loss of calcium and iron. You should pay close attention to your diet for the rest of your life.

Stomach Reduction

Information About Stomach Reduction

Although the number of fields containing information about stomach reduction surgery is increasing on the internet, collecting information on the subject is getting more complicated. You can predict the consequences of attempting a job before it’s fully understood.

It may be a bit difficult to change the opinion of people who do not know the surgery and who have been misinformed by hearing news about this surgery. Especially, there are those who are not obese but are directing obese people around them with this missing information.

For this reason, we would like to give information about stomach reduction, to explain some of the wrong or unknown points about this surgery, and to help if those who are too confused or think to give up.

Information and Tips About Stomach Reduction

Stomach reduction is the reduction of the stomach of people who have gained weight due to wrong eating habits by cutting them with laparoscopic surgery using special tools. In this way, the stomach volume is reduced and weight loss occurs by providing satiety with a low amount of nutrition.

Since sufficient energy cannot be provided from the nutrients taken into the body with a low amount of nutrition, the necessary energy is obtained by burning the stored fat. Thus, the rate of fat in the body drops rapidly. Accordingly, your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure, which are high while you are obese, regress to the normal levels. Your living comfort gradually increases.

If you have accepted obesity as a disease and you want to get rid of this disease, you may consider surgery after you have enough information about stomach reduction. Many patients are much more confused when researching about stomach reduction. For this reason, following the doctors recommended for this surgery on the internet and reading the comments of the patients who have undergone surgery will help you get more healthy information.

The important thing is to have this surgery safely and then to continue your life in a much healthier way. At this point, it is very important to trust the physician who will perform your surgery.

Stomach Reduction Surgery

If you do not know enough about stomach reduction, it is normal to be afraid of this surgery. However, any surgery performed by a competent surgeon is unlikely to fail. Remember that you may not have enough information, but the doctor who will perform your surgery must have a high level of knowledge and experience about stomach reduction surgery.

Stomach reduction is the most preferred method of slimming in recent years. Many people who have tried slimming methods such as diet, sports, various herbal or medical drugs, benefited in the short term, but have gained excess weight afterwards, can reach their ideal weight permanently with stomach reduction surgery.

Stomach reduction can be considered as the most accurate solution for weight loss. Because the stomach volume decreases considerably after the surgery and no matter how much it is desired, high amounts of food cannot be consumed. In this way, weight can be lost in a short time and quickly.

Of course, it is possible to lose weight by dieting. Sensitivities such as frequent nutrition with small amounts of protein and plenty of fluids may be the first steps to be taken to lose weight.

However, making this a lifestyle, that is, dieting for life, especially for people who put eating at the center of their life and are happy by eating, is so difficult that it can be called impossible. At this point, stomach reduction emerges as a savior method for slimming.

Slimming with stomach reduction

Of course, deciding to have surgery is not easy. As a result, there are some risks in this surgery as in any surgery. Therefore, choosing a doctor and center experienced in stomach reduction surgery in order to make the wrong choice for the sake of weight loss and avoid bad results is the most basic issue that people who decide to have this surgery should pay attention to.

Weight loss is a problem that has become a vicious circle for people who are obese and can no longer cope with the troubles of this situation. After trying all kinds of slimming methods, perhaps as a last resort, it has begun to be accepted by the society that stomach reduction is the best method that can get definite results for slimming.

Who knows, maybe it will be the first preferred method among stomach reduction slimming methods in the very near future.

Stomach Reduction Surgery Which Department Is Performed By Which Branch?

Stomach reduction surgery is the primary and frequently preferred method of obesity surgery. Stomach reduction surgery is an elite operation performed by laparoscopic method, which is called laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in medical language. Stomach reduction surgery is also called tube stomach surgery in general use.

Obesity surgery is the general name of weight loss surgeries and all these surgical methods are performed by General Surgery Specialists.

Although the General Surgery Specialist diploma seems to be sufficient to perform sleeve gastrectomy, unfortunately, this application is wrong in practice.

We can explain this situation as follows. General surgery specialty is a challenging process that takes five years. In this process, not every surgery can be performed in every medical school. Obesity surgery cannot be performed in every hospital just like in organ transplantation.

For example, a doctor who is a specialist from a center where obesity surgery is not performed during the general surgery residency period, attends three to four-day courses and attempts to perform obesity surgery and unfortunately, many sad results are encountered as a result.

For this reason, patients should carefully question and investigate whether the surgeon who will perform the operation has actually received this training while making the decision of surgery.

2-3-day courses are organized abroad, especially in the United States, and there is absolutely no medical practice on the patient in these trainings. However, unfortunately, patients attach great importance to their education abroad. However, although there are not many in our country, serious training is provided in some medical faculties for obesity surgery.

In conclusion, obesity surgery is a very low-risk general surgery operation if it is performed in experienced hands and in reliable centers, but careful research should be done before surgery. The exact answer to this question is that these surgeries are performed by experienced obesity surgeons who have been trained for many years.
