...overweight patients: those with diabetes. Several recent studies have reported that the surgery not only reduces patients' risk of death - particularly from obesity-related diseases, including diabetes and coronary artery disease - but that in some patients with diabetes the surgery is practically a cure, resulting in normalization of blood sugar, often within days. That's part of the reason that gastric bypass is now the most commonly performed weight-loss surgery in the U.S., with nearly 140,000 procedures done each year...
...other reason for the weight-loss disparity, Campos says, may have something to do with the medications that diabetes patients take to control blood sugar. "One of the known factors for why diabetics have trouble controlling their weight is the types of medications they take," says Campos. "Diabetes is a consequence of being overweight, but [another complication] is having to take medications that add to weight gain. It's a double-edged sword, and a vicious cycle."

He compares imposing curfew ordinances to "using a Band-Aid on a patient who is hemorrhaging - you might be able to stop the blood flow in one spot, but it's not going to help the bleeding." Problems like drug use, gun possession and gang membership, he insists, won't go away "just because you force youths to stay at home for a day - or at night...
