    I work with a woman who complains that she has had a ‘bad’ experience with her lapband. She had the surgery about a year ago, lost about 60 pounds and that’s it. She also does no exercise whatsoever (her husband does the housecleaning), eats anything and everything, MacDonald’s for breakfast and lunch. She has a drawer at work with every kind of candy known to mankind. Go figure.

Conversion to gastric bypass in this subset of patients is technically challenging but results in superior weight loss in a shorter time period.
