Why Patients opt for Weight Loss Surgery as a solution for Health Issues

For people with diabetes, bariatric surgery isn’t just about weight loss. It is now seen as an actual treatment for type 2 diabetes, and the weight loss becomes a bonus. It helps your body to produce and use insulin more efficiently and effectively. Research has shown people’s blood sugar levels dropping to below the diabetes range soon after surgery, even before they’ve lost weight. Because of this, most people who have bariatric surgery have their type 2 diabetes medications stopped soon afterwards.

QUESTIONS

How does Weight Loss surgery cure type 2 diabetes?

Weight loss surgery, particularly procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, can have a profound impact on type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms through which weight loss surgery can effectively "cure" or significantly improve type 2 diabetes are multifaceted and involve several physiological changes in the body:

 

- Weight Loss: The primary goal of weight loss surgery is, of course, weight loss. By significantly reducing the size of the stomach or rerouting the digestive tract, these procedures restrict the amount of food a person can consume and absorb. This restriction typically leads to substantial weight loss over time, which is often a key factor in improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

- Changes in Hormonal Regulation: Weight loss surgery can lead to changes in the secretion of hormones involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. For example, the rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract in procedures like gastric bypass can alter the production of hormones such as ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which play roles in hunger and satiety as well as insulin secretion. These hormonal changes can contribute to improved glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

- Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Obesity is strongly associated with insulin resistance, where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin's signals, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Weight loss following surgery can enhance insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to more effectively utilise insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.

- Changes in Gut Microbiota: The gut microbiota, the diverse community of microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tract, has been implicated in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Weight loss surgery can alter the composition and function of the gut microbiota, potentially influencing metabolic processes and inflammation associated with diabetes.

- Reduced Inflammatory Response: Obesity is characterised by chronic low-grade inflammation, which can contribute to insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities. Weight loss surgery has been shown to reduce systemic inflammation, which may play a role in improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

Which health issues does weight loss surgery help cure/send into remission?

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, can be an effective treatment for a variety of health issues related to obesity. While it's essential to understand that weight loss surgery isn't a cure-all and individual results may vary, many patients experience significant improvements or remission in several health conditions following surgery. Some of the health issues that weight loss surgery can help manage, improve, or send into remission include:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Dyslipidemia (High Cholesterol and Triglycerides)
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Will I need to take long term medication after surgery?

It's common for patients who undergo weight loss surgery to wonder about their medication needs post-surgery. While each individual's medical journey is unique, here's a general overview to help address this concern:

In many cases, weight loss surgery can lead to significant improvements in various health conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. As a result, some patients may find that they require fewer medications or even none at all after surgery.

However, it's essential to understand that medication management post-surgery varies from person to person. Some individuals may still need to take medications for pre-existing conditions, while others may need medications temporarily as their body adjusts to the changes following surgery. Additionally, certain vitamins and supplements may be recommended to prevent nutritional deficiencies and support overall health.

What are the criteria for weight loss surgery?

The criteria for weight loss surgery typically involve several factors that help determine if a patient is a suitable candidate. While specific requirements may vary depending on the type of procedure, common criteria often include:

Having a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity)
Previous attempts at weight loss without significant long-term success.
A commitment to lifestyle changes
Age - most surgeons prefer patients to be between the ages of 18 and 65, although exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
