			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s really interesting that obesity surgery can help reverse the signs of diabetes. Recent studies are of view that a surgical procedure for diabetes contributes to keep normal blood sugar levels. As such, a diabetic can have more chance to reduce medications or insulin if he undergoes a simple surgery to reverse obesity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Surgery replaces medications</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An obesity surgery is typically surnamed as ‘stomach reducing surgery’. A research report presented by the team of American College of Cardiology Department in Chicago, after a random study with 200 insulin dependent diabetics on recovery chance to normal levels of blood sugar, has established that the success rate is 42 percent. Specifically, the patients who had bariatric surgery showed rapid progress to minimize medications for diabetes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Blood sugar after surgery</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">50% of the patients with high blood sugar as diagnosed by A2c or HA1c test of hemoglobin were reported healthy after a surgery. Though the operation is not to cure diabetes fast, a biochemical analysis claims that the patient is no longer diabetic when followed just for a year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Effects of obesity surgery</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Though surgery works well in reversing diabetes, physicians are not able to explain how it actually works. However, the control of hormones in the digestive tract is accounted as the key role for regulating insulin secretion. This is based on the theory that obese people lack hormonal secretion. A study involving diabetic patients of three categories showed the following results though the surgery posed risks like dehydration and bleeding:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Intensive drugs and counseling – There was improvement but was not satisfactory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Gastric sleeve surgery –  Good effect of recovering normalcy in sugar levels.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Gastric bypass surgery – Immediate effect in reversing high blood sugar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Weight loss surgery</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Weight loss after gastric bypass surgery has been quite friendly to keep off medications. Within three months, the patients choosing surgery have enjoyed the additional benefits of being free from asthma and allergic problems. Though fatty foods are forbidden from eating after surgery for weight loss, patients are able to exercise regularly with ease and feel better than ever. Indeed, many patients have expressed “Vow, it’s wonderful that has changed their destiny and reverted life risks”. It’s considered overweight with Body Mass Index is 25-30 and obese with BMI above 30. The great thing achieved with post treatment for critical BMI is losing weight to help manage diabetes without medications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Risk chances following surgery for obesity: </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some people may have fear of any other complications following a surgery. There is a lean chance to develop a gastrointestinal leak from the surgical zone. It’s rather a serious issue that can lead to infection or nausea. The statistical figure of patients to suffer this complication is barely 1 %. But there is no incidence of death or life threatening because the death rate due to this surgery is just 1 in 2000 which is negligible. Very rarely, an additional surgery is fixed that follows complaints within a year of first surgery.     <strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How much it costs?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All patients are anxious to get answer for “How much” and “How long”. Researchers’ suggestion is to follow a case for about three years and totally the bariatric surgery cost may be around $25,000. Be sure, it’s expensive to hug with drugs for years together. So better choose surgery and enjoy the good things!</p>
