Recently I have been doing bariatric and metabolic surgery in Doha in Qatar. There is a big problem with obesity and Type II Diabetes in the country. There are about 2600 patients on the waiting list for surgery. The main operation done there is the laparosocpic sleeve resection which takes care of bothe the obesity and Diabetes in short order. What is more hypertension and lipid disorders are often corrected as well.
The team there is really expert and the surgery usually takes just over an hour. Patients are mobile the day after surgery.
The program is doin a lot to help the people in the country control this huge problem.

I think the problem with Obesity and Diabetes is endemic in many other countries in the Asian region.
