A detailed guide to diabetes surgery in Turkey, including procedures, recovery, costs, and benefits of choosing Turkish clinics.
Laparoscopic diabetes surgery has a short recovery time. You may remain in the hospital for two to three days, and you can return to normal activities in three to five weeks.
If the surgery involves a larger incision, your healing process will likely take longer. Follow the nutrition guidelines given to you by the nutritionist to ensure a faster recovery time.
Diabetes surgery can take two different approaches. The initial one is a gastric sleeve, and the second is a gastric bypass.
Gastric sleeve: The surgeon removes part of your stomach and creates a new tube-shaped stomach or "sleeve." The procedure reduces the size of your stomach and restricts the amount of food you can eat at one time.
Gastric bypass: The surgeon makes a small pouch that bypasses the stomach and attaches it to the other end of your small intestine. The procedure results in reducing the number of calories your body will absorb.
Some patients preferer to have other cosmetic procedures after massive weight loss; these complementary procedures include:
All surgical procedures carry some risks and side effects. The risks associated with diabetes surgery include:
Acid reflux
Anesthesia-related risks
Chronic nausea and vomiting
Dilation of esophagus
Inability to eat certain foods
Infection
Obstruction of stomach
Weight gain or failure to lose weight
Diabetes surgery or Metabolic Surgery is the most effective diabetes treatment and may result in stopping medications. Nearly 78 percent of patients who undergo the surgery experience lower blood levels, take fewer diabetes medications, and see an improvement in diabetes-related health issues.
