Sorry to hear about the setback, Dan. Hope it's temporary.

Quote from the first site I read... "Although the mainstay treatments of type 2 diabetes include pharmacologic therapy and lifestyle modifications, having adequate glycemic control is difficult to achieve in most obese type 2 diabetic patients, with about 52% of American diabetics actually achieving an A1C goal of 7.0%. Previous studies have shown that procedures like bariatric surgery have produced type 2 diabetes remission in morbidly obese patients. Other studies have also verified the benefits of surgical procedures on type 2 diabetics. However, a majority of the published literature that supports bariatric surgery and diabetes remission have only short and medium term follow-up. Currently there are very few long term follow-up studies, showing remission rates greater than 5 years. The purpose of this study was to study the long-term remission rates following bariatric surgery."
