TV9 Interview on obesity and diabetes surgeries – Dr. V. AMAR

Bariatric surgery is scientifically proven, very safe method for long lasting and effective weight loss. Mechanism of weight loss after bariatric surgery is different from other methods. Sleeve gastrectomy and diversion procedures re-set ‘fat set point’ to a lower level by altering several hormones and genes controlling ‘fat mass’.
These are performed on stomach and intestine by laparoscopic method (by putting small holes on tummy). Bariatric and metabolic surgeries are essentially same. If the purpose of surgery is weight loss, then it is called bariatric surgery. If the purpose of surgery is remission from diabetes and other co-morbid medical conditions, it is called metabolic surgery.
Majority of the obese individuals fail to lose weight by diet restriction and regular exercise. Even if they lose initially, weight is regained due to the effect of fat set point. These are benefited from bariatric surgery.

Metabolic surgery is scientifically proven, very safe method for long term remission from type 2 diabetes. Sleeve gastrectomy and diversion procedures alter several hormones and genes controlling insulin production and sensitivity. These alterations result in sufficient insulin production and reduced insulin resistance leading to long term control of blood sugars without the need for tablets or insulin.
These are performed on stomach and intestine by laparoscopic method (by putting small holes on tummy). Metabolic and bariatric surgeries are essentially same. If the purpose of surgery is remission from diabetes and other co-morbid medical conditions, it is called metabolic surgery. If the purpose of surgery is weight loss, then it is called bariatric surgery.
Individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes with excess weight benefit from metabolic surgery. Metabolic surgery helps individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes regardless of their weight.
