A Consultant Diabetes & Bariatric Surgeon specializes in the surgical treatment of obesity and diabetes. They use advanced surgical techniques, such as weight-loss surgeries (bariatric procedures) and interventions to manage or even reverse Type 2 diabetes. These treatments are often considered for patients who have not responded well to lifestyle changes or medications alone.

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically include individuals who are severely overweight or obese (with a Body Mass Index [BMI] of 35 or higher), or those with a BMI of 30 or higher who also suffer from related health conditions like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Our team assesses each patient's health, goals, and readiness for surgery to determine the best approach.

Bariatric surgery can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and may lead to remission or near-normalization of blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The weight loss achieved through surgery can also reduce the need for medications and improve the overall management of diabetes.

Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery performed, but most patients can expect to spend 1–2 days in the hospital. Post-surgery, patients will need to follow a specific diet and exercise plan, attend follow-up appointments, and take vitamins or supplements to ensure proper nutrition. Full recovery typically takes several weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
