Transit Bipartition

Transit Bipartition (Diabetes Mellitus/Metabolic Surgery) in Turkey

Transit Bipartition which is also called “Metabolic Surgery” (Diabetes Mellitus) is a kind of surgery that is effective for treating Type 2 diabetes. In this procedure, the last part of the small intestine is attached directly to the stomach as an alternative. In this manner, by managing the hormones that are produced in the small intestine, diabetes can also be regulated. 

The surgical procedure is done using laparoscopy and general anesthesia, just like Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy in Turkey, which are also used for the treatment of obesity. Transit bipartition is a type of surgery that was made to stabilize the rise in high glycemic index foods.

Things to consider before Transit Bipartition in Turkey

  •  Please inform the medical team about the medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements you use during your medical evaluation.

How is Transit Bipartition performed in Turkey? 

The first step of the procedure is called a sleeve gastrectomy, and it entails removing roughly 75-77% of the stomach as well as lowering the size of the stomach by 25%. This section’s primary objective is to remove the fundus, which is a component of the stomach that includes the hormones that control hunger. This will result in a total elimination of the secretion of the hunger hormone.

 

The next step of the surgical procedure involves locating the place of intersection between the small intestine and the large one. Then, the stomach is connected directly to this junction. This method aims to boost the production of hormones that aid in the digestive process of food and the assimilation of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Even though this may seem like a very complicated process, it is an easy one that works well for both weight loss and treating diabetes.

Day of Transit Bipartition

  • On the morning of surgery, do not eat or drink anything, including water,
  • Wear loose-fitting clothes that fasten in front or back. 
  • Leave all valuables in the safe box in your hotel room.
  • Do not wear any facial or eye makeup. Please avoid nail polish.
  • You may wear glasses but do not wear contact lenses.
  • Bring your ID/passport and if you have any medical conditions, please bring medical reports with you.

 Patients spend the first three months after surgery recovering from the procedure. At the same time, this is the moment when they begin to develop new eating habits. After two months, patients can resume their normal social life as well as a job that only requires minimal effort. When diabetes starts to get better, a person’s mobility improves a lot. If there is, diabetes-related weight gain and other metabolic problems start to decrease. Two years after the surgery, there will be no symptoms of diabetes. However, the patient must concentrate on their diet to avoid getting diabetes again.
