Patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery often have remission of type 2 diabetes five years after the operation, even if they regain a significant amount of weight, according to a recently published paper.
The study also found that people who underwent sleeve gastrectomy and regained their weight were five times more likely to see their diabetes return than those who had gastric bypass surgery and regained weight (J Am Coll Surg 2024 Feb 13. doi:10.1097/XCS.0000000000000934).
