with Dr. Josep Vidal
What happens after Bariatric surgery and T2DM in morbid obese patients? There is a lot of data supporting that diabetes mellitus improves and resolves in many obese patients after a weight loss procedure that leads to anatomical and hormonal changes.
The foregut theory supports that an accelerated intestinal transit time leads to an elevation in GLP-1 that triggers a favorable metabolism of glucose resulting in regulation / resolution of T2DM.
In this lecture, Dr Josep Vidal breaks down the existing data about this subject, testing the hypothesis beyond association.
