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.
