One of the most critical factors for the development of diabetes is obesity. An overweight or slightly obese patient has double the risk of developing diabetes, whereas a severely obese patient has ten times the risk of developing diabetes.
The link between obesity and diabetes is so strong that 80% of diabetic patients are obese.
There are approximately 20% of patients who are normal weight but diabetic. The types of surgery offered by our team for such patients:
Most of our patients lose between 50 and 80 percent of their excess body weight during the 18 to 24 months following surgery.
Better control or remission of your diabetes tends to occur even before significant weight loss.
Approximately thirty percent of patients do not require any further diabetes medication immediately after the surgery, and 85 percent of patients achieve cure or significant control over diabetes within six months of surgery.
Many patients with diabetes also suffer from high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol, which significantly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Bariatric surgery improves or resolves high blood pressure and cholesterol in most patients, decreasing these obesity-related risks.

The operation results in significant weight-loss and causes remission of T2DM in 80 percent of patients and improvement of the disease in an additional 15 percent of patients. In obese patients, both standard gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass produce excellent results in diabetes remission.
While conventional bariatric procedures work in obese patients, ileal transposition is a procedure for non-obese diabetic patients. This procedure produces excellent results and we perform this procedure laparoscopically. Ileal transposition increases the sensitivity and even the production of insulin by causing hormonal changes.
Bariatric and metabolic surgery results are affected by the duration of diabetes. Higher the duration of diabetes, lesser are the chances of complete resolution. Increased glucose levels due to diabetes slowly causes premature death of Beta cells in pancreas. These Beta cells produce insulin in our body. Therefore, longer is the duration, higher is the chance of irreversible damage to beta cells. Surgeries performed before irreversible death of these cells can cause complete resolution of diabetes.
