 Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) is the most
common form of diabetes. It accounts for
approximately 95 percent of all cases.
 Obesity is directly associated with increased rates
of obesity worldwide. T2DM leads to health
problems like cardiovascular disease, stroke,
blindness, kidney failure, amputations, impotency,
cognitive decline and mortality risk from certain
forms of cancer.
 Every 10 seconds a person dies from diabetes
somewhere in the world. Diabetes is one of the
top ten leading causes of deaths.
 For a diabetic, health expenditures are 2.3 times
higher than a non-diabetic. Approximately 90
percent of type 2 diabetes mellitus is attributable
to excessive body fat.

 Metabolic and bariatric surgery is the most
effective treatment for T2DM among individuals
who are affected by obesity
 Current therapy for type 2 diabetes includes
lifestyle changes (weight-loss, appropriate diet,
exercise) and anti-diabetes medication.
 But T2DM often worsens with time and
requires even greater numbers of medication or
a higher dosage to keep blood sugar under
control.
 Thus, T2DM has been considered a chronic and
progressive disease.
Nearly all individuals who have bariatric surgery
show improvement in their sugar level and general
diabetic state.
Bariatric surgeries affect type 2 diabetes in the
following ways:
• Lowered blood sugar.
• Reduced dosage and type of medication
required.
• Improved diabetes-related health problems.
In some individuals, surgery causes type 2 diabetes
to go into remission by:
• Reducing blood sugar level to normal range.
• Almost eliminating the need for diabetes
medications.
• General health Improvements.

4. Types of Bariatric Surgeries :

• ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS
Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass is a surgery that causes
food to bypass most of the stomach and the upper
portion of the small intestine.
This results in significant weight-loss and causes
remission of T2DM in most patients.
• SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
Sleeve Gastrectomy (Vertical gastrectomy) removes
a large portion of the stomach and, thus, causes
weight-loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy has some effects on glucose
metabolism that favor improvement in diabetes.

5. Types of Bariatric Surgeries :
• ADJUSTABLE GASTRIC BAND
The Adjustable Gastric Band involves the placement of
a band around the upper portion of the stomach.
Remission of diabetes is seen in approximately 45-60
percent of patients.
• ELECTRIC IMPLANT DEVICE
An electrical device is implanted under the patient's
skin. The device controls signals in the nerve which
connects the stomach and the brain, reducing the
feeling of hunger.
Implanting the device is a minor surgery and it can
easily be removed once weight loss is achieved. The
device can also be controlled with a remote. However,
patients may experience pain, heartburn, problems
swallowing, belching, nausea, and chest pain.

This is a non-invasivetechniqueand requires no cuts or incisions. Heat generated through ultra soundwaves areused to destroy or shrinkthefibroids.

 While bariatric surgery certainly has some risk, the long-term risk of continued diabetes outweighs the risk of
a surgical procedure for most patients.
 Each patient’s individual risks for surgery as well as their other obesity-related health problems should be
evaluated before performing and procedure.
 Also, the patient must trust only an experienced and highly skilled bariatric surgeon and must follow their
doctor's post-op advice.
