What is Diabetes Surgery (Transit Bipartition)?

Transit Bipartition is a metabolic surgery to treat Type 2 Diabetes, which also stimulates weight loss in obese patients with BMI larger than 30. The stomach is connected with the 1/3 section of the small intestines as a result of which insulin secretion is controlled.

Preparing for Surgery

  1. Online and in-person consultations will be made to examine the patient, assess the medical history and to discuss the patient's expectations.
  2. The doctor will make note of allergies, chronic diseases and regular medications used by the patient.
  3. The anesthesist will have a consultation with the patient.
  4. The patient should quit smoking and avoid alcohol before the procedure.
  5. Specific dietary guidelines provided by the surgeon must strictly be followed before the surgery.
  6. Patients must stop taking Aspirin, all other NSAIDs, arthritis medications, blood thinners, Omega 3 supplements and herbal teas before surgery.

The Surgical Process

Surgery begins with gastric sleeve operation whereby 70 – 80% of stomach is removed. Then the intersection point of small and large intestine is connected to the stomach. Later anastomosis of duodenum takes place.

The surgery is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours.

The Post-Operative Process

  • Pain, swelling and nausea are manageable with medications.
  • Specific dietary guidelines provided by the surgeon must strictly be followed after the surgery.
  • You may get back to work 10 days after surgery.
  • Within 2 years after surgery diabetes will be treated.
  • The surgeon will be available for online and in-person consultations after the surgery for necessary follow-ups.
