Diabetes and weight loss surgery

The gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy produce hormonal changes that can effectively cure type II diabetes the day of surgery. About 90% of diabetics are cured this way. Diabetics who have suffered more then 10 years or who have progressed to insulin therapy have a somewhat lower cure rate. The Lap Band cures diabetes only through weight loss, which obviously takes longer. Overall, around half of diabetics are cured this way with the Lap Band.
