The Lap Band – A Type 2 Diabetes Cure? For many of those who are overweight, Type 2 Diabetes is a looming problem. The Lap Band, a form of minimally invasive bariatric surgery, can help those who have had trouble losing large amounts of excess weight. In maintaining that loss, the effects of Type 2 Diabetes have been shown to be greatly reduced.
