Thank you Guzzler.

Thanks for all the replies, folks. I really appreciate the input. Some awesome points have been made. I’ve spoken with a consultant re: the bypass surgery, and he confirmed that bypass has by far the most positive effect on T2D, and that the improvement happens practically overnight and so is...

Hi, I've been away for a while - but I'd really love to hear peoples thoughts on treating/improving T2D with Gastric Bypass Surgery. I know it seems pretty severe, but I have done a LOT of research on this, and the improvements are often drastic. Would anyone here consider it?
