| 6) I have failed at so many other diet methods. Am I going to fail at this? |
| A. Although we cannot make guarantees, unlike dieting where it has been proven that 95% of people will regain any weight lost, bariatric surgery has a long track record of success. The Gastric Bypass achieves a similar weight loss of about 70-75 percent of excess weight. That means a women, who weighs 420lbs and has an ideal body weight of 120lbs would be expected on average to lose 240lbs. Certainly some patients will lose more. Other may only reach a weight loss of 150lb (50% of excess).The Lap-Band has slightly less overall weight loss at 55 percent, further, this weight loss occurs over a slower period than the gastric bypass. However, the Lap-Band is a more simple operation with less initial operative risks. There are rare patients that do not achieve successful weight loss. |
