Experts generally agree that weight-loss surgery would never be appropriate for diabetics who are not obese, and current federal guidelines restrict the surgery to obese people.

Hopeful news nonetheless

Yeah...the story was not specific about how obese you have to be. I was impressed by the fact that some people seemed to benefit in just a few days (cured)? I am not up on the science, but doesn't this seem to be a disease which targets obese or substantially overweight people as opposed to thinner folks?
