Metabolic surgery is a surgical procedure for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) or diabetes mellitus. At the same time, diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol and obesity are also within the scope of metabolic surgery. Failure to treat such diseases related to metabolism negatively affects both the health and quality of life of the person. Metabolic surgery interventions with a very high success rate are not limited to a single method. The main criteria affecting the surgery to be selected are the patient’s current discomfort and the suitability of the treatment method to be preferred depending on this discomfort.
Metabolic surgery operations are mainly for Type 2 diabetes patients. In order for the operation to be performed, insulin production is required in the body, even at a low level. Type 1 diabetic patients cannot be operated on because insulin production is not available in their body structures. In addition to type 2 diabetes patients, metabolic surgery interventions can be used in diseases such as obesity, high cholesterol level, and hypertension.
Most patients with type 2 diabetes require insulin supplementation, medication, exercise and diet throughout their lives. However, many patients do not comply with this process, which negatively affects their quality of life. In such cases, metabolic surgery can improve the quality of life of patients to a great extent. However, it should be kept in mind that the success of the treatment may vary from person to person. In some patients, it may be possible to completely stop insulin supplementation with treatment, while in some patients, it may be possible to reduce the doses of drugs after surgery.v
After the operation, patients should be fed only with liquid foods for 2-3 days. Generally, the discharge process is carried out after 4-5 days. At the end of the first month, patients can return to their normal lives. Again, regular doctor control is required for an average of 2 years.
