What you need to know about Type 2 Diabetes Surgery in Geneva
Type 2 diabetes surgery is a treatment option for patients whose body mass index (BMI) is greater than 30 and whose general health is at risk from diabetes. It is also an option when other types of treatments, such as medication, have not helped to keep their diabetes under control. Some of the benefits of type 2 diabetes surgery are as follows:
- Dramatically improve blood sugar levels, which means that less medication is needed to control blood sugar levels. In many cases, surgery can also induce a “remission” of diabetes, meaning that it can return blood sugar levels to normal without medication.
- Assist in weight loss.
- Improve health issues caused by excess weight.
- Improve metabolic disorders, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and sleep apnea.
- Increase long term survival.
-
Reduce the risk of cancer.
What's the Recovery Time for Type 2 Diabetes Surgery Procedures in Geneva?
You may be allowed to resume some light activities and return to work within 5 to 10 days if your job is not physically demanding. However, the complete recovery period until you are allowed to perform all of your normal activities, including exercise, may take at least 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery. A two month light diet is usually required after the surgery.
What's the Success Rate of Type 2 Diabetes Surgery Procedures in Geneva?
Type 2 diabetes surgery is safe and highly successful when performed by an experienced surgeon. The success rates are 87% for Ileal Interposition, 86% for Transposition Bipartition, and around 88% for Sadi-S. However, research of these procedures is still ongoing and the success rates may change. You also need to be aware that these procedures carry some potential risks, such as bleeding, infection, allergic reaction to the anesthetic, and dumping syndrome.
