In two new studies the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery found that both Gastric Band and Gastric Bypass surgery can help eliminate diabetes.
The effect of this surgery has been known for a while, these studies; however, find that the effects can be long lasting.
In one study the New York University School of Medicine looked at 95 severely obese patients, with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of over 46.
Each patients underwent obesity surgery to fit a Laparoscopic AdjustableGastric Band (LAGB).
Within five years of surgery, each patient had either significantly reduced their medication or it had been completely removed from their daily routine.
