There is an article in this week’s New Scientist magazine (Australian) which talks about how weight loss surgery should be included as an official treatment/cure for Diabetes Type 2 because of the amazing results they are getting. Maybe someone needs to mention to them that you don’t actually need the surgery – just the extreme diet you are put on after it. But I guess they get more compliance from people who have had their stomach stapled.

I worked with someone last year that had had some form of bariatric surgery – her weight loss was amazing, but i couldn’t help thinking that if she’d cut to the portion sizes that she was eating post surgery she’d have lost weight anyway. And she still seemed to eat really daft things – pizza, chocolate and sugary yoghurts, just minute quantities.
I didn’t quite get it, but hope its working well for her.
