Diabetes and bypass: Well, diabetes is a risk factor for having any type of operation. However, a patient with diabetes is the perfect candidate for a gastric bypass because this operation is the best at curing type 2 diabetes (nearly a 90% cure rate). So if i had diabetes, i wouldn't worry, i would get a bypass as soon as possible.
