Amazing so we now are recommending risky elective surgery instead of helping with weight control, vitamins that the body needs, etc.. Surgery carries so many risks including staph infection. I have Type II and would view this as only and absolute last resort.

In our case it isn’t about weight control. He already lost the weight and he is super skinny now. Looks great. Didn’t need to lose much, was never fat. But he is so thin now. But if surgery could save his life that would be great. I know that something in his body has gone hay wire and caused this. He developed diabetes about five years ago and was active and fairly thin then too.
