with obesity, primarily type 2 diabetes. The general objective of this study is to understand through
a literature review the main impacts of metabolic surgery about the remission of DM 2. This present
study it is an exploratory and descriptive study carried out through a literature review. Data

proof be a good and effective treatment for having and maintaining good weight loss, as well as a
significant clinical and metabolic improvement that extends beyond weight loss. Metabolic surgery
is a satisfactory way of achieving long-term weight reduction in obese individuals, increasing survival
