The thing is? The surgery has not been performed for that many years. What happens, as in the case of a person I know, over 100 pounds is regained? Will the diabetes return?

I had RNY Bariatric surgery 2 years ago at 57. Today I am still 100 lbs down and since surgery am off Glucophage (type 2 diabete med), my CPAP machine, high BP meds....it is a game changer. I feel 30 years younger. Everything works better...and I mean "everything"!!!

It's amazing and for the wealthy who will have healthcare they can rest assured they will live a long healthy life. No health insurance and you will be just left to die.
