Diabetes type 2 cured with Gastric Bypass Obesity Surgery

Diabetes is a serious disease. Over time, diabetes that is not well controlled causes serious damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. About 18.2 million Americans, or 6.2 percent of the population, have diabetes. Thirteen million people have diagnosed diabetes, while an estimated 5.2 million people are undiagnosed. More than 8 million people 60 years or older have diabetes. This figure represents 18.3 percent of that age group. About 5 to 10 percent of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children, teenagers, or adults under age 30. In people

with type 1 diabetes, the body can no longer produce insulin.

About 90 percent of people in the United States with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. It is most common in adults over age 40, and the risk of getting type 2 diabetes increases with age. With this form of diabetes, the body does not always produce enough insulin or does not use insulin efficiently. Being overweight and inactive increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes.

According to dr. Roberto Rizzi (Obesity clinic Franco e Rizzi, Sao Paulo, Brazil) gastric bypass surgery should be considered for obese persons with Diabetes type II. Weight loss of 65 to 80% of excess body weight is typical of most Gastric Bypass operations reported. The medically more significant effects are a dramatic reduction in co-morbid conditions. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is reversed in up to 90% of patients, usually leading to a normal blood sugar without medication, sometimes within days of surgery.
