A mature woman lost 37 kilograms by "shrinking her stomach and widening her intestines"! Diabetes and sleep apnea disappeared

I gain 3 pounds every holiday! After the Spring Festival, many people have the problem of weight gain. According to statistics from the National Health Administration, nearly 40% of the population gained an average of nearly two kilograms during the Chinese New Year period, and some people even gained 3-5 kilograms! In addition to causing body shape problems and the well-known metabolic diseases such as the three highs and diabetes, obesity will also cause "sleep apnea", which is known as the "invisible killer"!

A 47-year-old Miss Zhang was overweight and had suffered from diabetes for ten years. Recently, he has been experiencing fatigue and difficulty concentrating during the day, as well as severe snoring at night, so he sought help from the Thoracic Department of Annan Hospital. A sleep check-up revealed that Ms. Zhang suffered from "severe sleep apnea" due to severe obesity. The doctor recommended that she, who weighed nearly 100 pounds, should undergo weight loss treatment in order to completely improve her sleep apnea. Ms. Zhang followed the advice and went to the International Metabolic Body Medicine Center to undergo a "gastric reduction and intestinal endoscopic weight loss surgery."

Gastric reduction and bowel surgery can reduce about 85% of excess weight in one year

"Gastric Reduction and Bowel Bypass Surgery" was first introduced to Asia by Dr. Huang Zhikun, Director of the International Metabolic and Physical Medicine Center of Annan Hospital, and then modified to be suitable for Asian population. This procedure consists of sleeve gastrectomy plus proximal small bowel bypass. Dr. Xin Mingzhe, who performed the surgery, said that before the operation, Ms. Zhang weighed 97 kilograms and had a BMI of 35.6, which was considered severe obesity. In addition to type 2 diabetes, she also had sleep apnea.

Gastric reduction and bowel surgery is highly safe and has a low rate of long-term complications. It can reduce about 85% of excess weight after one year, reduce hunger, increase satiety, and effectively control blood sugar. Compared with traditional gastric bypass surgery, this surgery retains a larger stomach capacity, has fewer dietary restrictions, and can provide a better quality of life after surgery. Compared to the currently popular gastric reduction surgery, small intestinal bypass can provide more stable weight loss and reduce the chance of regaining weight, and has now become the mainstream surgery in the center.

Miss Zhang, who had the surgery just ten months ago, has lost 37 kilograms from 97 kilograms to 60 kilograms, directly returning to her junior high school weight! Her body fat also dropped from an extremely high 45.7% to a slender 24.4%, allowing Ms. Zhang to regain confidence in her figure and appearance. She began to try different styles of dressing and became a slim and graceful hot mom! Through the gastric reduction and rectal surgery, she was spared the hassle and pain of taking large amounts of blood sugar medication every day, and her glycosylated hemoglobin dropped from 7.0 to the normal value of 5.0!

She said happily, "I never thought that an operation could improve my physical condition so much. I just wanted to improve my sleep apnea. I didn't expect that my sleep quality has improved and I don't have to take blood sugar medicine every day to control my blood sugar! What makes me even happier is that I have successfully lost weight in the past, and now I have the slim figure I always dreamed of. I really feel it is worth it."

Long-term obesity and poor blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes should be consulted at the outpatient clinic

Treatment of obesity and diabetes cannot wait! The International Metabolic Body Medicine Center has helped more than 6,000 patients say goodbye to obesity and return to a healthy and standard body shape! Among them, a total of 635 patients underwent gastric reduction and colonectomy surgery, and lost 85% of their excess weight within one year after the surgery. At the same time, as many as 95.5% of the patients achieved diabetes relief and no longer needed to take additional blood sugar medication after the surgery. Doctor Xin Mingzhe reminds us that the weight gain of Chinese people peaks after the Chinese New Year. For patients with morbid obesity, the weight gain after the Chinese New Year is a huge burden! If you have long-term obesity problems or type 2 diabetes and have poor blood sugar control with medication or insulin, please visit the International Metabolic and Physical Medicine Center for relevant information and treatment.
