Bariatric surgery (specifically Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass) is an effective treatment for severe obesity and can lead to remission of Type 2 Diabetes, particularly in patients with a short disease duration.
If you have severe obesity (BMI >40 or >35 with health issues), bariatric surgery is a medically recognized option that can potentially reverse Type 2 Diabetes, especially if you have had it for less than 10 years. Discuss this with a specialist to see if you are a candidate.
StrongSupportsHIGH confidence
Standard bariatric operations, including bilio-pancreatic diversion, sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)... benefit individuals' metabolic profiles to varying degrees... in patients with a duration of T2D not exceeding 8-10 years, the possibility to get a complete remission is very high with both restrictive interventions, such as SG... and malabsorption ones.
Why this rating
Cites specific surgical outcomes and remission rates, supported by references to metabolic profile improvements.

More from this paper
- Women with obesity exhibit distinct physiological and psychological responses to weight management compared to men, including greater neural sensitivity to food rewards, higher baseline leptin levels, and a tendency toward peripheral (gluteo-femoral) fat distribution which offers metabolic protection until menopause.Good
- Post-menopausal women face a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic complications due to the shift from protective gluteo-femoral fat to visceral, perivascular, and epicardial fat accumulation following estrogen decline.Good
