Hello, Please encourage him to lose weight naturally,his diabetes will eventually get controlled if he decides to lose weight naturally. Bariatric surgery should be opted as a life saving surgery,it should not be taken as a instant solution to weight loss,it definitely comes with side effects.He just needs to bring modifications in his life style.
