Gastric bypass is an option for some but not for her due to other health concerns. And someone very close to me had gastric bypass solely to "cure" their diabetes, and it didn't work. They came off of insulin but are still on oral diabetes meds and still have to deal with it every day, even with their weight down to 105 lbs! Sadly, gastric bypass surgery only cures diabetes about 80% of the time.
