Metabolic Surgery for Diabetes Turkey

Metabolic Surgery Turkey – Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the world due to changing lifestyle and diet. Opportunities in the treatment of diabetes, which arise independently of the pancreas’s capacity to produce insulin and are caused by environmental factors rather than genetic predisposition, are quite advanced. The treatment of the disease starts from the diagnosis and the first thing to do is lifestyle changes. These changes, such as removing sugar from the diet, starting sports exercises, and switching to a regular life, save many patients years. The treatment of diabetes has become much easier with the development of metabolic surgery today.

The application of surgery in the treatment of diabetes is determined by the joint decision of the patient and the doctor. In Istanbul Surgery, Assoc. Dr. Hasan Abuoğlu and Assoc. Dr. Mehmet Kamil Yıldız evaluate the patient’s condition with the necessary tests and examinations and prepare a very comfortable and safe treatment environment in this regard-Metabolic Surgery Turkey

Who Can Have Diabetes Surgery?

There is no such thing as the elimination of type 1 diabetes by metabolic surgical methods. The main type of diabetes that can be treated surgically and has ubiquitous information is type 2 diabetes.

Certain tests are performed for surgery in our patients with type 2 diabetes. If there is no problem after the examinations and examinations, the decision for surgery is made. Thus, the patient’s blood glucose level comes to normal limits. Complications that may arise due to high blood glucose levels (vascular occlusions, cardiac problems, kidney failure, visual and auditory problems, psychological problems, etc.) are prevented.

  • People who have sincerely and for a long time tried non-surgical methods but failed, can have diabetes surgery.
  • Diabetic patients with sufficient insulin production capacity of the pancreas can have diabetes surgery.
  • If the patient’s tissue damage due to diabetes is accelerated and cannot be stopped, diabetes surgery can be applied.
  • Diabetes surgeries can be applied to those whose body mass index is between 25 and 35.

In addition to these, a few more conditions specific to the patient are sought. For definitive information, you should definitely be examined.

What should be the nutrition plan after diabetes surgery?

Diabetes surgery is not a difficult surgical process. After the operation, the recommendations of the doctors about nutrition should be taken into account. After the surgery, there is a period of liquid food, pureed food, soft food for certain periods. The first 15 days are liquid food period and attention should be paid to food consumption under the supervision of a specialist. At the end of the first month, the process of feeding with normal food is started. After the operation, the patient’s food intake is very limited, and a feeling of early satiety occurs. After the feeling of obstruction, food intake should be discontinued, and patients should not force themselves on food intake-Metabolic  Surgery Turkey

Depending on the diet and exercise regimen after the surgery, people can lose 80% of their weight. Postoperative supplemental support is of great importance and the person should be followed regularly. Gastric bypass surgery can be performed if patients under the follow-up of psychologists and dietitians start to gain weight again. The 15% post-operative weight gain rate is an indication of the critical importance of the patient’s follow-up.

What Does Diabetes Surgery Bring to the Patient?

Atients who reach normal weight after diabetes surgery, however, get rid of diabetes-related disorders. At the same time, patients do not have to use drugs and insulin, and there is a noticeable improvement in their quality of life-Metabolic Surgery Turkey
