Procedure change from Lap Band to new Sleeve surgery

Posted Today, 7:23 AM

So I went to my visit yesterday with my wife to get my band scheduled. At 5 ft 7 and 240lbs my main reason for WLS is ridding myself of diabetes. After a long conversation with my surgeon I have decided on a new procedure . The sleeve gastrectomy with single Anastomosis duodenoileal bypass. By bypassing the pancreas it results in diabetes resolution. It's been done in Spain for several years and recently in the US but data is limited. Any info from others is appreciated. BC/BS doesn't consider it experimental. It's approved . I'm actually going to be in a study my surgeon and six others in the US. mostly to gather long term data as the isn't any. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?....

This is the first I have heard of this procedure. I have been googling the heck out of it since reading your post. I wish this option was available in my area. I am anxious to see what you uncover.

I too have not been able to find a lot of info. It is not considered experimental and Blue Cross is covering it. My surgeon says it has been done for 3 years in Spain and he has been doing them here recently and now has a grant for a study for long term. I will be in that study. He says that before long this be the surgical solution for diabetes in people who are not obese. Exciting stuff.....
