Bariatric Surgery refers to laparoscopic surgery performed in stomach/intestines
or both for the treatment of obesity and resolution of its associated diseases like
type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, menstrual problems etc. It has now proved to
be a treatment modality for treatment of uncontrolled diabetes and patients’
dependant on insulin. With this advancement, diabetes cure is now possible,
although not every diabetic requires a surgery. This is possible by change in the
hormones in the intestines which enables the insulin produced by the pancreas
work more efficiently. Even in patients with poor control of diabetes with the
background of insulin therapy, the surgery will be successful in controlling sugar
levels. Hence, this can also be called diabetes cure surgery.
