Dr. Oz / topic Gastric Bypass

I also watched it just now on time shifting... Dr Oz did an excellent job of explaining everything. Interesting how medicine is not thinking of changing the BMI to 30 for someone who has diabetes as it is being looked at for resolving the critical health issues and costs associated to a life with diabetes... in long run cheaper and far healthy for these people... in addition to those with bariatic health issues still requiring BMI of 35 w/comorbities or over 40 otherwise.
Interesting research... pretty awesome seeing the actual surgery and what they did to us! :)
