-Background -Diabetes mellitus type 2 is not infrequently associated with obesity and can be prevented, improved and even reversed with the different types of bariatric operations. Aim -To compare serum glucose levels on pre and postoperative periods in patients undergoing gastroplasty with Capella and gastric sleeve techniques. Method -A descriptive and prospective analysis of serum glucose levels was done on pre and post-operative patients undergoing these operations. Results -Of the 83 patients analyzed, 76 (91.5%) were female. Ages ranged from 21 to 64 years, with average age of 44 years. Seventy-seven (92.7%) underwent gastroplasty (Capella) and six (7.3%) to gastric sleeve. The pre-operative blood glucose ranged from 125 to 500 mg / dL and dropped to 76 to 120 mg / dL in the post-operative period of three months. Of the 77 patients taking medication for diabetes, 57 had metformin 850 to 3500 mg daily, 18 glibenclamide 5 to 10 mg per day and 17 insulin. After three months of operation, 92.2% stopped using drugs for diabetes and 100% of those who remained medicated decreased from more than 65% the dose of the drug, and none remained dependent of insulin treatment. Conclusion -Bariatric surgery is effective method to improve and even reverse type 2 diabetes mellitus. ABCDDV/814RESUMO -Racional -O diabete melito tipo 2 está, com certa frequência, associado à obesidade mórbida e pode ser prevenido, melhorado e até mesmo revertido com as diversas modalidades de operações bariátricas. Objetivos -Comparar as glicemias séricas pré e pós-operatórias dos pacientes submetidos à gastroplastia com as técnicas de Capella e sleeve gástrico. Método -Estudo descritivo e prospectivo com análises das glicemias séricas pré e pós-operatórias de pacientes submetidos à gastroplastia. Resultados -Dos 83 pacientes analisados, 76 (91,5%) eram do sexo feminino. A idade variou de 21 a 64 anos, sendo 44 anos a idade média. Setenta e sete (92,7%) foram submetidos à gastroplastia (Capella) e seis (7,3%) à sleeve gástrico. A glicemia pré-operatória variou de 125 a 500 mg/dL caindo para a variação de 76 a 120 mg/dL no pós-operatório de três meses. Dos 77 pacientes que usavam tratamento medicamentoso para a diabete, 57 tomavam metformina de 850 a 3500 mg por dia, 18 glibenclamida de 5 a 10 mg por dia e 17 insulina. Após 3 meses da operação, 92,2% cessaram o uso de medicamentos para diabete e em 100% dos que permaneceram medicados houve redução de mais de 65% na dose do fármaco, sendo que nenhum permaneceu dependente de insulina no tratamento. Conclusão -A cirurgia bariátrica constitui-se em método eficaz para a melhora e até mesmo reversão do diabete melito tipo 2.
