Gastric Bypass Surgery Relieve Diabetes Symptoms

Patients undergone gastric bypass surgeries release more insulin and hormones GIP and  GIP-1 in the new bypassed digestive tract after meal. Branched amino acid levels rose, and free fatty acids level dropped. These activities help the patients to digest meal while controlling their blood sugar. It relieves symptoms of type II diabetes.

Gastric bypass surgery is often done to treat morbid obesity. This study shows the potential to combine the treatment for obesity and type II diabetes at the same time, possibly through non-surgical means in the future.

One part of the body can be related to other distant structures that seemed irrelevant. The study is a positive result, but it also shows us no one had paid attention to how hormones may change as an aftermath of gastric surgeries. We need to research more on the intertwined physiology of human body to better understand the effect of different surgeries that alters our entire system.
