Metabolic surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a type of surgical procedure performed on individuals who are obese and have metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes. The surgery aims to help patients lose weight by altering the anatomy of the digestive system, which can result in improved glucose metabolism and other metabolic parameters.
The most commonly performed metabolic surgeries include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding. These surgeries can result in significant weight loss, which in turn can lead to improved glycemic control and even remission of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of metabolic surgery on diabetes are not fully understood, but are thought to involve changes in gut hormones, insulin sensitivity, and other metabolic pathways.
Metabolic surgery is not a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, but may be considered as an option for obese individuals with poorly controlled diabetes despite lifestyle modifications and medical management. The decision to undergo metabolic surgery should be made in consultation with a medical professional and involves a careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks of the procedure.
