The procedure involves removing a portion of the small intestine...and then reattach the rest...studies show the small intestine has hormones that help control blood sugar....so far tests are showing that some individuals have returned to normal blood sugar levels after the surgery...gosh if this works for many, this procedure 
would have folks literally waiting in line...fascinating and hopefully something good on the horizon for diabetics....BD
A new, experimental surgery could make type 2 diabetes disappear in some patients. While doctors have refrained from calling it a cure, some believe a duodenal jejunal bypass may be the first step in finding a surgical solution to the country's diabetic epidemic. To date, the Sound Shore surgeons are the only ones in the U.S. offering the surgery, but doctors in India and Mexico also are conducting their own studies, and one Brazil surgeon already has performed 70 surgeries.
