Is gastric byp a healthy option for a type 1 diabetic, overweight teenager?

I think a side effect of insulin is weight gain. Gastric byp surgery is definitely an option. They say that diabetics are able to stop taking their insulin almost immediately. I had the surgery 3 years ago and I belong to an on line support group under yahoo groups it is titled myuicfriends. Check it out and ask some questions.I know that some of the members are/were diabetics. Good luck.
