Clinical Case What happens after Bariatric surgery and T2DM in morbid obese patients? There is a lot of data supporting that diabetes mellitus improves and resolves in many obese patients after a weight loss procedure that leads to anatomical and hormonal changes.

In this lecture, Dr Josep Vidal breaks down the existing data about this subject, testing the hypothesis beyond association.
