Diabetes: Is it good to have gastric diversion surgery to lower sugar?

  Many diabetic patients have the intention to do hand gastric diversion surgery, but at the same time, many people will worry about the effect of the surgery, so they have been hesitant, and how long the effect can be maintained after the surgery is also the most concerned issue. In fact, I can’t give an accurate answer to this question, because the effect of the surgery has a lot to do with the patient’s postoperative period.  Surgery here can be said to give the patient a chance, a way and a method, but it still depends on how the patient makes use of it. If you change your bad habits such as overeating, not exercising, staying up late, etc., especially your diet, then your blood sugar may rise again.  On the contrary, if the patient follows the post-operative rehabilitation management plan formulated by the surgeon and takes a reasonable diet and exercises appropriately, the blood sugar will remain stable for a long time and it will be difficult for the patient to have a high blood sugar again. This also prevents complications from occurring at all, which is of great benefit to the patient.  In addition, the doctor and hospital where the surgery is done also directly affects the results of the surgery. It is best to go to a local experienced hospital and have the surgery done by an experienced doctor, so as to avoid poor results due to human factors.  All in all, however, patients who want to have the surgery must have a thorough understanding of the surgery itself, especially the principles of the surgery. It is important to be able to make some changes after the surgery under the guidance of the doctor, and to be able to follow the post-operative plan formulated by the doctor, not only to recover quickly after the surgery, but also to maximize the results. If you cannot make changes, it is recommended that you use conventional medical medication, and surgical treatment is no longer within your range of adaptation.  If you are still very young, if you are overweight or obese, if you are a type 2 diabetic, then we recommend immediately going to a professional hospital to do an overall health assessment, to determine no problem can do surgery under the guidance of a professional doctor to develop the next treatment plan to avoid too much damage to their health problems.
