By now it is well known that obese people who undergo gastric bypass surgery miraculously are cured of their type 2 diabetes. A small study published online March 25, 2013 in Diabetes Care, showed that the improvement or disappearance of type 2 diabetes is due to people eating a lot less after surgery. The surgery has the same effect as an ultra-low calorie diet would have. Perhaps there are other mechanisms at work as well. However, there are down sides to gastric bypass surgery, including nutritional deficiencies. All of these things need to be taken into consideration when contemplating having such a surgery.
