Nope it really is a cure. I know people involved with diabetes research, and it really is a cure, and they dont know why. Its not because of the weight loss, because it is instant! They day the get the surgery, the loose the Diabetes II. (The people I know, work at Novo Nordisk, i would think its the world leader in diabetes and diabetes related research.)

As someone rather interested in the subject that has been my general understanding. The refusal for people to look beyond "eat less and fast etc" is rather disheartening.

What if they gain weight again, months or years after surgery? Does diabetes come back?

Im not doing the research, so I cant answer, but it dosent seem to be weight related, as they loose the diabetes on same day as surgery. They loose none of the weight on surgery,

Could it be a side effect of some part of the surgery procedure? Anesthesia perhaps?
