Objective: To compare the impact of 4 surgical procedures (mini gastric bypass [MGB], sleeve gastrectomy [SG], ileal transposition [IT], and transit bipartition [TB]) versus medical management on gut peptide secretion, beta cell function, and resolution of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Research design and methodsA mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) was administered 6–24 months after each surgical procedure (mini gast...

Background: Several studies showed that there is a relationship between vitamin and mineral status and muscle strength. In particular this is the case for handgrip strength (HS) and vitamin D deficiency. In bariatric surgery there is a risk of decrease in muscle strength after surgery and also vitamin and mineral deficiencies are not uncommon. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of low vitamin 25 (OH) cholecalciferol levels, high dose cholecalciferol supplementation ...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus became a global problem during recent decades, and unfortunately medical treatment fails to provide adequate control in many obese diabetics. We aimed to perform a prospective comparative cohort study to investigate how soon patients achieve glycemic control after three different surgical options (sleeve gastrectomy (SG), mini-gastric bypass (MGB), diverted sleeve gastrectomy with ileal transposition (DSIT)) within the first 30 days postope...

Aim: In the present study, we aimed to analyze the incidence of diabetic neuropathy (DN) via electrophysiological testing of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients scheduled for laparoscopic diverted sleeve gastrectomy with ileal transposition (DSIT). At a mean of 8 months after surgery, the electrophysiological tests were repeated and differences in electrophysiological parameters were evaluated to investigate the effects of the operation on outcomes related to diabetic neu...

Background: Medical treatment fails to provide adequate control for many obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A comparative observational study of bariatric procedures was performed to investigate the time at which patients achieve glycemic control within the first 30 postoperative days following sleeve gastrectomy (SG), mini-gastric bypass (MGB), and diverted sleeve gastrectomy with ileal transposition (DSIT).Methods: Included patients h...
