Remission of type 2 Diabetes after weight loss surgery

From a statistic standpoint and if one looks at all comers that have type two diabetes then the remission rate breaks down into this: lap band 40 to 45 percent, sleeve gastrectomy 60 to 65 percent, gastric bypass 85 percent, duodenal switch 98 percent. As with statistics there are highs and lows and this is a rough average. Notice that the more "aggressive" the procedure the better the chances for diabetes remission.
