Bariatric surgery can have quick and dramatic effects on a person's weight and other health conditions. Joyce Larson had minimally invasive weight loss surgery and has lost 130 pounds in less than a year. She's also sent her diabetes into remission, found new ways to play with her grandchildren and discovered a new and active lifestyle. Dr. Cori McBride describes how weight loss surgery can benefit obese patients with diabetes and heart disease. The bariatric surgery program at The Nebraska Medical Center has been named a national Center of Excellence by the an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
