Is surgery a reliable treatment for diabetes? How long does it take to recover?

  Diabetes is a chronic disease formation process are slow, according to information shows that the total number of people with diabetes in China has exceeded the 110 million mark, and even reached nearly 120 million people or so, the prevalence of diabetes in adults has grown to 11.6%.  But, don’t panic! Now there is a good way to treat diabetes, that is, you can treat diabetes through gastric bypass surgery, the whole operation is about an hour long, and generally within a week you can be discharged from the hospital, but later also need a long time to accumulate and adapt to the body.  The recovery period of the surgery: During the first three months after the gastric bypass surgery, you need to adjust your diet and eat and avoid eating as required. The main purpose of this phase is to avoid excessive pressure on the body to eat after surgery, which may affect the progress of recovery. During the period from three months to six months, the diet can gradually return to normal and the intensity of exercise can be increased.  After six months, the recovery phase of the body is basically completed, and the effect of treating obese diabetes is remarkable. In general, it is possible to lose 60-80% of the excess body weight within one year after surgery and to maintain it for a long time afterwards.  It takes one year to complete the recovery and treatment after surgery, and some patients may ask: Can we rely on ourselves alone for such a long period of time? In a regular and strict bariatric surgery center, there will be doctors, health managers and nutritionists to provide one-on-one follow-up services for patients. Therefore, if a bariatric surgery center has a short post-operative management service or even no post-operative management at all, then the results of the surgery will be greatly reduced.
