METABOIC SURGERY / BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND CORRECTION OF DIABETES.

I am a 34-year-old lady with type 2 diabetes for 3 years. My weight is 137 kg and my height is 163 cm with a BMI of 51.6.  I am from the Middle East and have come to meet Dr Ashish Vashistha Best Bariatric Surgeon in Delhi India.

After my complete evaluation, he suggested SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY / MINI GASTRIC BYPASS for my sustained weight loss and correction of blood sugar levels.

Dr Ashish Vashistha, the BEST BARIATRIC SURGEON IN DELHI explained to me how a Metabolic / Bariatric surgery procedure will help me.

Metabolic / Bariatric surgery changes the way the digestive system works, in ways that are beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes. It can:

• Make you feel full more quickly, which means you eat less.
• Change how the hormones in your gut work, which in turn affects how your body makes insulin.
• Increase the amount of bile acids that your body makes – these make your body more sensitive to insulin.
• Improve the way your body uses insulin, leading to lower blood sugar levels.

We have seen that almost one-third (30 percent) of people who had surgery have almost no medicines for diabetes or maybe off insulin and minimal oral hypoglycaemic agents.

Dr Ashish Vashistha, BEST BARIATRIC SURGEON IN DELHI  shared that if you are newly diabetic with about 2-3 years of seeing high blood sugar, Bariatric surgery can bring REMISSION of diabetes.

Who are the right candidates for BARIATRIC / METABOLIC SURGERY?

Bariatric surgery is the right choice for people who meet certain criteria. These can include:

• You have a BMI of 40 or more, or a BMI between (27.5 and 32) especially for ASIAN PEOPLE, and an obesity-related condition that might improve if you lose weight (such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure). The Asian population is more likely to get the type of diabetes at a lower BMI. So person is analyzed to assess if bariatric surgery will help him/her. 

• You’ve tried all other weight-loss methods, such as dieting and exercise, but have struggled to lose weight or keep it off 

• you agree to long-term follow-up after surgery – such as making healthy lifestyle changes and attending regular check-ups

I was offered LAPAROSCOPIC SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY.

ALSO WAS ADVISED TO PLAN PREGNANCY AFTER 2 YEARS.

WHAT WILL BE MY LIFE AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY?

Immediately after the operation, you will be put on a liquid or soft diet. Gradually, you will move to a
balanced diet that you will need to stay on for the rest of your life. You will probably also have to take vitamin and mineral supplements.

Breathing exercises are very important.

The light walk allowed for a few days. start exercise as per your surgeon’s advice Once you have recovered from surgery, you will be advised to follow an exercise program for the rest of your life.

You will also need regular follow-up appointments to check how things are going.

I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO SEE MY INSULIN OFF AND ORAL MEDICATIONS REDUCED THE NEXT DAY OF MY SURGERY.
