Abstract
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) surgery leads to more frequent diabetes remission than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). In this issue, Harris et al. (2019) compare each surgery after careful matching for percentage weight loss and find the gut as a major site of difference between the effects of the two surgeries.
