My bf was sexually abused by his mom when he was ~10 or so. I just found out a couple of weeks ago. It explains a lot.
Virginwife, I've been researching the "diabetes surgery" and with the help of some friends have determined that this was likely bariatric (gastric banding) surgery.

The diabetes "cure" is a side effect of the surgery. But it is my understanding that one has to watch one's diet very carefully afterward. If there were a reliable surgery to "cure" diabetes wild horses and all the drug companies in the world wouldn't be able to keep diabetics away from it. Low carb eating (very low carb... less than 30 carbs per day) can also bring blood sugar totally under control.
