There was a proffesor on one of infotainment shows, (read news) the other day stating that gastric banding should be used in some cases of Type II Diabetes. He stated that studies showed that once weight was lost the Diabetes would often go into remission. He did say that this was not for all cases it is considered effective for about 30% of Pt's. The cost worked out as marginally cheaper than traditional treatments but the human cost sounded outstanding.
This was about all of the usefull info given during the programme, what do you guys think?
