The majority of gastric bypass patients mysteriously recover from their type 2 diabetes within days, before any weight loss has taken place. A study has now shown that the insulin-producing beta cells increase in number and performance after the surgery.

"The majority of people who suffer from obesity and undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from their diabetes within days of the procedure." Is that true? I thought it was much lower success rate than that. :confused:
