Bariatric surgery is fast becoming more than a cosmetic procedure. The surgery has many life-transforming benefits, including resolving diabetes in nearly 8 out of ten patients.
Due to the success bariatric surgery has in the fight against diabetes, a group of experts voted the procedure as the "Top Innovation of 2012."
Recent studies have found nearly 80% of people with type-2 diabetes, who had bariatric surgery, saw their diabetes disappear, or treatment was no longer needed.
Following bariatric surgery, there's also a 90% reduction in deaths from diabetes-related causes.
