Lipo or Vaser Lipo for Losing 30 to 40 Lbs?

bxbabe
My husband is overweight by 30 to 40 pounds and is diabetic. The medication always makes him sick in the bathroom. The doctor told him that if he loses about 20 to 30 pounds, he can maybe control the diabetes better and even get off the medication. He would like to do Liposuction or Vaser Hi Def Liposuction in order to lose the weight faster. Is this a wise choice he is stubborn and lazy when it comes to exercise.
