Date of publication: June 2011

Publication type: Journal article

In a nutshell: Bariatric surgery leads to marked and long-lasting weight reduction. A large proportion of patients undergoing bariatric surgery have type 2 diabetes and this fact is a compelling argument to perform bariatric surgery in those who are eligible according to international criteria. Glycemic control improves in the months after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, but it improves more rapidly and completely after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. The authors conclude both types of surgery are capable of improving or even curing type 2 diabetes, but the mechanisms may differ.
