Is it true that gastric bypass surgery has been proven to improve or even cure Hashimoto's disease over time?

I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and as a treatment (besides the medication) it has been suggested that I have bariatric surgery (gastric bypass). I have heard that with time it can actually reverse the Hashimoto's disease but I cannot find any such evidence online.
