Managing Type 2 Diabetes can be overwhelming — especially when lifestyle changes and medications are no longer effective. If you’re living with obesity and struggling to control your blood sugar levels, diabetes surgery, also known as metabolic or bariatric surgery, may offer a long-term solution.
At our specialist clinic in Malaysia, our certified bariatric surgeons perform evidence-based procedures to improve or even reverse Type 2 diabetes, helping patients achieve better glycaemic control, weight loss, and overall health.
⚕️ What is Diabetes Surgery?
Diabetes surgery, often referred to as metabolic surgery, involves modifying the stomach and/or small intestine to:
Reduce calorie absorption
Regulate hormones related to insulin and glucose
Enhance the body’s natural insulin sensitivity
This approach is particularly effective for individuals with obesity-related Type 2 Diabetes, and has been endorsed by leading health bodies, including the American Diabetes Association and International Diabetes Federation.
🔍 Types of Diabetes Surgery Offered in Malaysia
Surgery Type | Description | Ideal For |
---|---|---|
Gastric Bypass | Reduces stomach size and reroutes intestines | Type 2 diabetics with BMI >35 |
Sleeve Gastrectomy | Removes 70–80% of stomach | Obese patients with comorbidities |
Mini Gastric Bypass | Less invasive alternative with similar effect | High-risk patients |
All surgeries are minimally invasive (laparoscopic) with a high safety profile and shorter recovery time.
