How do the weight-loss results with the LAP-BAND compare to the gastric bypass ?

Surgeons have reported that gastric bypass patients lose weight faster in the first year. At five years, however, many LAP-BAND®® System patients have achieved weight loss comparable to that of gastric bypass patients. Focus on long-term weight loss and remember that it is important to lose weight gradually while reducing obesity-related risks and improving your health.
