Brief summary
Weight loss following gastric band surgery, defined as % excess weight loss (poor - <20%, moderate 20-45% or good >45%), will be correlated to rates of progression from impaired fasting glucose to diabetes. These rates will be compared to those of AusDiab participants from a similar time period.
