Can obesity surgery 'cure' diabetes?

We've heard before that obesity is a main cause for the development and onset of diabetes. But, could obesity surgery be the cause for many diabetes cases? Seems logical, although curing obesity with surgery should be a last resort in my humble opinion. Whatever happened to working hard to lose all that extra weight?

Now, I do know it's near impossible for some to work out regularly to try and lose wight, but near anyone can change diet choices to really start dropping the pounds. Do you agree, or is surgery a quick and easy solution to ridding oneself of obesity?

Research from Australia determined that those who were obese but were subjected to obesity surgery were five times more likely to have diabetes go away over the course of two years after the surgery compared to those who only went through standard diabetes care. Well, when the stomach and other organs are physically altered to curb hunger and food cravings, I can see this being a solution that works. Is it the best solution, though?
