Diabetes Surgery

Diabetes surgery is increasingly being preferred worldwide as an effective method for treating Type 2 diabetes. This surgical procedure operates through mechanisms that trigger metabolic and hormonal changes to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce complications caused by diabetes.

Preparation

In the weeks leading up to the surgery:

  • Start following a healthy diet and engaging in physical activity.
  • Quit tobacco use.
  • You may need to follow a preparation plan recommended by your doctor to regulate blood sugar levels.

Right before the procedure:

  • There may be restrictions on eating and drinking habits.
  • Your doctor will inform you about which medications can be used
  • Preparations should be made to facilitate your recovery process after the surgery

Prosedüre Genel Bakış

Diabetes surgery is typically performed in a hospital setting. The procedure is carried out using laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques, and the hospital stay usually ranges from one to two days. However, this duration may be extended depending on the recovery process.

During the Surgery

  • The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
  • The surgeon makes several small incisions in your abdomen and uses laparoscopic equipment.
  • The stomach is reduced in size, and a portion of the small intestine is rerouted.
  • This procedure helps regulate blood sugar levels through hormonal changes and metabolic improvements.
  • The surgery typically takes a few hours, followed by monitored recovery.

    • Post Procedure Care

    Immediately after the surgery:

    • Diet: A liquid diet is implemented in the initial stage, followed by pureed and soft foods, and eventually solid foods are gradually added to your diet.
    • Supplements: To prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies, supplements such as iron, calcium, and vitamin B-12 are recommended.

    Regular medical follow-ups are essential during the postoperative period. Blood tests and check-ups are important for monitoring blood sugar levels and overall health.

    Outcomes

    Diabetes surgery is an effective method for controlling blood sugar levels and reducing complications caused by Type 2 diabetes. Many patients report a reduced need for medication and insulin, or even the complete elimination of their dependency, after the surgery. In addition to weight loss, diabetes surgery can also lead to improvements in high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), cardiovascular diseases, obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes-related organ damage, and infertility. Diabetes surgery is a significant tool in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and the enhancement of overall quality of life.

    Patient Satisfaction

    ''In August 2017, I underwent gastric bypass surgery. My postoperative period was very comfortable, and I didn't experience any issues. I am currently 62 kilograms lighter. I chose Dr. Mustafa Erol for his success and his care for patients. I have no regrets; every day I say to myself, "Thank goodness I had this surgery."

    After the surgery, I stayed in the hospital for 3 days. Throughout these 3 days, Dr. Mustafa Erol closely monitored my condition. I had a very good surgical experience with both the attention from his assistants and their explanations of the process. I am very thankful to Dr. Mustafa and his team for their care and attention.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Obesity Surgeries

    Obesity surgeries are surgical procedures performed to assist individuals who are overweight or obese in losing weight. These surgeries help achieve weight loss by reducing the stomach's capacity or altering the digestive system.

    Obesity surgeries are typically performed on individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or with a BMI of 35 or higher who have obesity-related health issues. However, doctors assess each patient's overall health and other obesity-related factors to determine if they are suitable candidates.

    Weight loss after obesity surgeries can be rapid, but individual responses may vary. Significant weight loss can typically be observed in the first few months following surgery. However, lifestyle changes and regular follow-up are essential for long-term success.

    Risks of obesity surgeries may include infection, blood clots, bleeding, nutritional deficiencies, and post-operative complications. Risks can vary for each patient, so it's important to discuss them in detail with our surgeon.

    Yes, lifestyle changes are crucial after obesity surgeries. These changes may include adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and taking supplements recommended by your doctor. Participating in post-operative support programs and maintaining regular follow-up with your doctor can enhance long-term success.
