TL;DR: Patients with the shortest duration, the mildest form of T2DM, and the greatest weight loss after surgery were most likely to achieve complete resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus, suggesting that early surgical intervention is warranted to increase the likelihood of rendering patients euglycemic.

TL;DR: There appears to be a strong association between obesity and inflammation, thereby rendering obesity a chronic inflammatory state and the success of weight loss surgery in treating the complications associated with obesity is most probably related to the reduction of inflammatory mediators.

TL;DR: Those who underwent bariatric surgery compared with matched control patients who did not have surgery had lower all-cause mortality at 5 years and up to 10 years following the procedure, providing further evidence for the beneficial relationship between surgery and survival that has been demonstrated in younger, predominantly female populations.

TL;DR: Surgical weight loss results in significant improvement of liver morphology in severely obese patients and may be associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: LRYGBP resulted in significant weight loss (60% percent of excess body weight loss) and resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus resolution after surgery, suggesting that early surgical intervention is warranted to increase the likelihood of rendering patients euglycemic.
