Diabetes Surgery
Sleeve gastrectomy + side to side is a jejunoileal bypass procedure. With this method, a small portion (1/5) of the stomach that secretes appetite hormone is taken according to the weight of our patient. Then, a small connection is made between the anterior part of our small intestine (about 4-6 meters long) and the last part of the small intestine. After this surgery, 2/3 of the food we eat passing through the small connection continues to be digested in the normal way, while approximately 1/3 of our food passes through the transitional connection and reaches the last part of the small intestine earlier. Foods arriving early in the last part of the small intestine cause the secretion of “hormone that lowers insulin resistance” and “hormone that creates a feeling of satiety” from the last part of the small intestine. Thanks to these hormones, the insulin hormone secreted from our pancreatic organ, lowers sugar much more easily.
