As part of our comprehensive Type 2 diabetes care at Gemelli, we offer bariatric surgery as an option. This multidisciplinary scheme tackles not just cardiovascular risks but also improves the overall health outcomes for our patients.
Bariatric surgery has proven to be highly effective in managing Type 2 diabetes, especially for individuals with obesity. The procedure works by modifying the digestive system to promote weight loss, which significantly improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Many patients experience a reduction in blood sugar levels, with some even achieving long-term remission from diabetes, reducing or eliminating their dependence on medication.
Beyond diabetes management, bariatric surgery offers significant cardiovascular benefits. Obesity and Type 2 diabetes are closely linked to conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease. By helping patients lose weight and improve metabolic function, the surgery lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, patients often experience better blood pressure control and improved lipid profiles.
Multidisciplinary Evaluations: We assess the patients in complete detail, involving endocrinologists, surgeons, and dietitians, for the most appropriate treatment modality.
Management of cardiovascular risk: Our strategy is to have a means to handle the cardiovascular risk developed for persons with Type 2 diabetes
Individualized Treatment Plans: Our bariatric care will tailor all of it toward the individual health profile of the patient in order to provide individualized intervention as effectively as possible.
Whole Support: Our team is with the patients at all stages of their treatment journey- from pre-operative preparation to post-operative recovery and lifestyle changes.
Our dieticians provide customized nutritional education to prepare for surgery and optimum recovery thereafter.
Counselling to issues that involve emotional-behavioural factors tied to obesity is provided to give well-rounded patient care.
Regular assessments by our multidisciplinary team will be made to check for progress, manage any complications, and help achieve continued weight loss.
Endoscopic vertical gastroplasty is a technique by which the size of the stomach is reduced by endoscopic means, restricting the intake of food and then facilitating weight loss. Endoscopic procedures will be associated with reduced recovery times and complications as opposed to surgical interventions. It is this model of innovation that makes us committed and oriented to effective and patient-designed bariatric treatments.
At Gemelli, we prioritize innovative, patient-centred bariatric treatments that enhance safety and effectiveness. Endoscopic procedures like vertical gastroplasty provide significant benefits for individuals struggling with obesity, improving metabolic health and reducing associated risks such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Our specialized team ensures personalized care, guiding patients toward long-term weight management and improved overall well-being.
Recognized as Italy’s Best Hospital 2024 by Newsweek and Statista, Gemelli continues to set benchmarks in medical excellence.
