What is Metabolic Surgery?
Metabolic surgery in Islamabad is a special type of bariatric surgery that is used to treat obesity and metabolic conditions, especially diabetes type 2. In contrast to the traditional weight loss surgery, where a primary goal is reduced size of the stomach, the metabolic surgery is aimed at the regulation of the body hormones controlling the sugar level in blood, the level of appetite, and the insulin sensitivity.
It involves procedures such as:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Gastric Bypass
- Mini Gastric Bypass
Such processes modify the digestive system to enhance how the body processes glucose and help regulate insulin levels.
How Does Metabolic Surgery Work?
Metabolic surgery operates by a variety of scientific principles:
- Hormonal Reset:
It alters intestinal hormones that produce insulin and blood sugar.
- Better Insulin Responsiveness:
The body becomes more sensitive to insulin and the medications are not required.
- Appetite Suppression:
Hunger hormones become lesser, which lowers the hunger cravings and overeating.
- Weight Reduction:
Fat loss helps in improving metabolic health in a sustainable manner.
It is quite common to see that many patients get improvement in blood sugar levels in a few days even before much weight is lost.
