Also Stacey Halprin, author and frequent Oprah guest , will talk about how she resolved her Type 2 Diabetes with surgery. "Gastric Bypass surgery is a type of surgery that may improve diabetes dramatically, but we're not just talking about blood suger levels, we're talking about improving a number of associated comorbiidities as well," says Dr. Rubino.
