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.
