Many of you know that weight loss surgery can treat type 2 diabetes, but many of you don’t understand what this treatment is away from, so let’s talk about gastric bypass surgery today. Find out what gastric bypass surgery surgery really is. Why it can treat type 2 diabetes. Gastric bypass surgery, known as laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, is a procedure that changes the structure of the intestine and closes off most of the stomach’s function. The procedure is characterized by dividing the stomach into two parts, the smaller upper part and the larger lower part, and then cutting off the small intestine and rearranging its position to change the pathway of food through the digestive tract, slowing down gastric emptying and shortening the small intestine, thus achieving weight loss and diabetes control through a two-pronged approach of controlling intake and reducing absorption. Gastric bypass surgery has become a more effective means of weight loss. Generally, obese patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery can lose 8-12 pounds within one week after surgery, and an average of 60 pounds in 3 months. As long as the obese patient’s weight is reduced to the standard range, he or she will not lose any more weight, and a lifetime of surgery can keep the standard weight without rebound. Gastric bypass surgery is suitable for the following groups of people: 1, age 16-65 (not limited to men and women); 2, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but the duration of the disease ≤ 15 years; 3, good islet cell compensatory function (fasting C-peptide level is normal, and two hours after meal reflects more than 2 times) 4. Body mass index BMI > 27.5 kg/m. Since obesity in the country is mostly abdominal obesity, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents and other complications is higher, so when the waist circumference is ≥ 2250 px in men and ≥ 2000 px in women, surgical treatment should be considered more actively.
