I saw that report on 60 minutes this Sunday, it's really interesting what they discovered after operating on diabetic patient with a gastric bypass. They noticed that the symptoms of diabetes seem to disappear a few days after the operation. All the patients are off their medication(insuline shots). The tube that they cut off linked to your stomach reduce its size so you don't crave for food anymore and gives you more control on what you eat. Also they discovered that the same tube might be related to Diabetes. They did the reverse operation on rats with diabetes by first cutting the tube passage, the rats were cured, then reattached the tube and diabetes reappeared.
Interesting... Now they are fighting to approve this operation on patients that are not overweight by higher authorities. Remember gastric bypass is the last resort solution for obese and overweight people.
check out the video.
