Best Answer

A recent study showed that less than 25% of weight loss surgery patients had had any net weight loss two years after surgery. In other words, people are expecting bariatric surgery (LapBand, gastric bypass, etc.) to be magical cures when in fact they aren't. This research proves that weight loss is simply about burning more calories each day than one is taking in.
