Yes, that is true, but it is the bypass part of the surgery,the first five feet of intestine from your stomach)that is bypassed) that corrects the diabetes. This is the portion of your intestine that absorbs most of the sugars, calories, fats and all that other good stuff, thus the diebetes is corrected. Gastric Bypass is 98% effective in eliminating Type II Diabetes. Forme I can still eat about 1000 calories a day. Just had Chili, cheese and crackers. Yummy!

If you do a little research on the effects of diabetes on weight loss/gain, energy and the general health of you endocrine system. Combine that research wiht a modern day Rouex-en-Y Gastric Bypass and you wilbegint o see the havoc diabetes hason your health and ability to lose weight.

Scarry stuff!
