Medicare will pay for morbid obese people to have a bypass. I was a diabetic and no insurance would have me until I was old enough for Medicare. I had a lap ban operation and now I am completely off medication for diabetics.
Diabetics that are obese and have a bypass operation are no longer diabetic after the operation according to my Dr..
