I would have done anything to have a lap band, even go to Mexico, so crazy i know (but now i think MGB, would be better then a Foreign object in my body (no pun intended) I have BMI of 43ish yikes. Question what is the down time on a MGB?
This is propoganda to sell the bypass. I love my lapband as does most in my support groups. Yes failure CAN BE the patient’ s fault. It can also be the surgeon’s fault. But the band itself is sound and it has saved my life! I thank God for the procedure that has helped me so much without altering my anatomy!
wow! good job Dr Rutledge!
this doesnt look nearly as risky as that wicked horrible lap band!
What do You think about gastric balloon surgery ? I mean I am 21 years old and weight 96 kg, so I dont want/need gastric bypass… And yes I cant lose weight just with diets. (I have been bigger than others for all my life) Hopefully You can help and sorry for mistakes I just started to learn english….
where are your sources Dr. Rutledge? You sure have some significant claims against LapBand, but never have your provided any proof
That looks so painfull

I had the lapband 12-17-2007 and have lost 85 lbs with mine so far
New French Study Shows 1 in 4 Bands Failing in France!!
A new MGB study from France reports that gastric band patients will require a major reoperation with band removal and conversion to another surgery for ?failed weight loss, ?dysphagia or ?reflux in up to 25% (1 in 4) of cases! A Swiss study showed 80% of Bands failing at 10 years.
New Study from Austria: More Disappointing Gastric Band Results
New long term study from Innsbruck Medical University Hospital, Austria. The results were disappointing with a high complication rate and many dissatisfied patients.
What peer reviewed evidence do you have to state its “close to 100% failing rate by ten years” – That is just not reflective of the true data AS WELL YOU KNOW I AM SURE. (unless you think 34% is close to 100%)
you are bloody close to breaching your hippocratic oath with that statement for intentionally misleading your patients for personal gain.
Blaming the Victim!
People who are affected with overweight and obesity are often victims of stigmatization and discrimination. It is time to Stop Blaming the Victim. IF the surgery fails should we blame the patient or the operation?

Dear DrR.
I had it done in Mexico, Lap band surgery, also had 2 fills in Tampa, Florida. Total failure! can you convert my surgery to the MGB?
Dear Dr Rutledge,
had the original band put on in october of 2003, lost 102 pounds. today ( 5 years later, i have regained about 70 pounds)
Please Help me!
This surgeon should not be so negative about the band, it sounds like he is selling bypasses!!
Not all folks with a band suffer from this, the patient could easily be at fault by not following instructions that make the lap band work.
Sorry I don’t like this guy….
Well done! Now this person will lose some serious weight! 5 star rating bty!
