Who is a candidate for metabolic surgery?
Metabolic surgery is generally suitable for individuals with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Before surgery, the patient’s body mass index, overall health status, and previous weight loss efforts are evaluated. Suitable candidates can achieve significant improvements in both weight loss and control of metabolic disorders through this surgical intervention.
What is the recovery process like after metabolic surgery?
The recovery process after metabolic surgery usually takes a few weeks. Patients may need to stay in the hospital for the first few days post-surgery, followed by recovery at home. During this time, a specific diet plan is followed, and regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the patient’s progress. Full recovery varies depending on the individual's overall health and the extent of the surgical procedure.
Does metabolic surgery completely cure diabetes?
Metabolic surgery can bring blood sugar levels to normal in a significant number of patients with type 2 diabetes, effectively controlling the disease. Many patients may reduce or completely eliminate their dependence on insulin and other diabetes medications after surgery. However, maintaining long-term results requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
