 I am Dr. Sumit Talwar, I am the Chairman of Bariatric Surgery of Manipal Health & Prizes Private Limited. The relationship of type 2 diabetes and obesity flash bariatric surgery is a complex one. Type 2 diabetes, especially if it is uncontrolled, makes any surgery riskier. But a properly controlled type 2 diabetes will not have a major impact on the risks of bariatric surgery. In fact, after bariatric surgery, about 80% of type 2 diabetics will be able to go off all their medicines for a prolonged period of time.
