Lap-band Surgery is Highly Effective in Treating Type II Diabetes
It has been known for years that reducing ones weight can yield benefits associated with Type II diabetes. With the excess body weight that is lost when a patient receives lap-band surgery, Type II diabetes is usually brought under control or into complete remission in over 49% of cases.
Recent a study published in the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) showed that patients that had weight loss surgery were “more likely to achieve remission of Type II diabetes”
Patients who have lost weight by typical diet and exercise were compared with patients that had the LAP-BAND System surgery.
Why exactly is Lap-Band surgery such a highly effective treatment for Type II Diabetes?Gastric Banding (Lap-Band) surgery helps to control your Type II Diabetes due to the reduced intake of sugars and carbohydrates. Once this occurs your bodies need for insulin is greatly reduced. Once the body produces a reasonable amount of glucose the body can then handle it in a natural manner without the need for daily injections, or a need for a greatly reduced amount of insulin.
In the report, patients with Type II diabetes were randomly chosen to receive Lap-Band surgery or typical diabetes treatment which included insulin and a course of diet and exercise.
All patients had been diagnosed with diabetes less than 24 months prior.
Of the 55 patients that actually completed the study 43% achieved full remission within two years compared to only 13% of the patients who tried conventional diet and exercise.
