I've heard that too. I know several people that have had the gastric bypass and (so far) been able to keep it off but the side effects - more emotional - than physical were awful. The lapband doesn't seem to be as bad but you lose the weight really slowly so a lot of people get discouraged.

I have a friend that has had it. Her procedure was done about a year ago. She's only lost about 40 pounds so not a dramatic affect but she'll continue to lose.
