Weight loss metabolic surgery is now one of the standard treatment options for morbid obesity and obese type 2 diabetes, and although patients will need to make some degree of improvement in their lifestyle habits after the procedure, those who are knowledgeable about the procedure will be more receptive to it after an initial self-assessment than to the therapeutic effects of weight loss metabolic surgery. However, there are still some misconceptions that bariatric surgery does not provide immediate results, whether it is for obesity or diabetes. Dr. Dai Xiaojiang, a bariatric and metabolic surgery specialist at Youdao Group, said that patients will generally continue to lose weight for a year after surgery, with the most significant results in the first three months. The specific weight loss effect will be affected by various factors, such as the surgeon’s surgical skills and proficiency, post-operative diet management, and post-operative exercise management, etc., which will all have an impact on the actual weight loss effect. Therefore, there is a process to lose weight through surgery, not immediately after the surgery, nor will there be unlimited weight loss. In addition to the effect of treating diabetes, the severity of diabetes can also have an impact on the treatment effect. For example, those patients who are still able to secrete insulin may stop taking glucose-lowering drugs within a few days after the surgery, while those with serious conditions will need to go through a period of weight loss and diet modifications before they can stop taking glucose-lowering drugs.
