Recent study on diabetes shown that majority of obese people with the problem of diabetes can seek relieve from the sickness forever with weight loss surgery. Getting gastric bypass surgery done can help 80% of the diabetes patient to say goodbye to the meditation forever.

However, a review on a study led by Rick Meijer, at the Institute for Cardiovascular Research, Vrije University in Amsterdam did not agree with the finding of the study and stated that the figure obtained is exceeding the real possibility with more conventional diabetes treatment.

If standard practice is conducted, there will be only a small portion of people that has very strong will to lose weight is able to cure from type 2 diabetes mellitus – a type of diabetes which occurs at the highest chance as observed from current record. The study evaluated people who had type 2 diabetes mellitus and underwent either a gastric bypass (surgery that physically make stomach smaller in size and allow food to skip part of the small intestine) or a gastric band surgery (surgery that reduce the capacity of stomach with an adjustable band).

A total of 9 studies are done. 8 studies of that evaluated 23 to 177 patients while another one involved evaluation to 82,000 people. All the studies duration is at least 1 year. Result shown that 83% of the patients can stop following diabetes medication after gastric bypass surgery. Partially of them even can start it within a few days after surgery. If it is gastric banding surgery, 62% of them successfully gain the medication discontinue advantage after the surgery.

Jon Gould, head of the weight loss surgery program at the University of Wisconsin, claims that surgery should be treated as the front line therapy which obese people with diabetes should consider for.

After one received gastric bypass surgery, they are left with a few choices to lose weight of their body. 4 mechanisms are available for choose including restriction, malabsorption, dumping syndrome, and hormonal changes. What restriction did was reducing your stomach size in order to make you feel full while just eating a small amount of food. You will never ever overeat again in this way.

Malabsorption effective in the sense that it lowers the body’s absorption of some specific nutrients as a side effect of operation, therefore causing weight to drop. Dumping syndrome on the other hand means that the patient will experience adverse reaction towards sweets of all kind after the gastric bypass surgery. This reaction causes them to lose intention to indulge sweet and sinful treats that are common known as the fat root cause. The last mechanism, hormonal change is an effect of gastric bypass surgery. It reduces the Ghrelin hormone exist in patient’s body which leads him/her to fell hungry lesser as this hormone triggers the feel of hunger for food.

Gastric bypass surgery can be done through 5 small incisions in the abdominal wall or midline abdominal incision. However, this is not an affordable surgery for all diabetes obese patients. Going slowly with natural way is still a better and cheaper choice. Keeping good eating habit by eating only the right food and conduct exercise program regularly are the ways through it. Get consultation from your doctor on the appropriate options for you.
