Only the drastic option of gastric surgery has a long-term record of success, with most patients losing half their excess weight. Good news for potential dieters is hard to find.


Somehow low carb diets get left out of the equation. Also this is not just about losing weight it is about maintaining weight loss. Looking for that holy grail of weight loss, that pill that is going to cure us all, leads to a kind of blindness of vision to what is already out there. What is the long term success rate of gastric bypass surgery? What is the complication rate?
