Gastric Bypass Surgery Cures Diabetes

Yahoo News: "Gastric bypass surgery has become a popular option for obese people who want to shed pounds quickly, but researchers say diabetics also have something to gain from the procedure.

They have found the surgery controls type 2 diabetes, even when the patient is not obese, according to a report in the January issue of the Annals of Surgery."

A recent study by researchers at the University of Washington found that 1 in 50 people die within one month of having gastric bypass surgery, and that figure jumps nearly fivefold if the surgeon is inexperienced.

Attorney Herman Praszkier says, "You want to know, basically, as much information about the surgeon's background as you can. Anyone who evades your question, get up and walk out."
