A friend of mine had it and she has NOT done well. She didn't feel good from the surgery, was still always hungry. It did not work for her and she even went back for several adjustments.
On the other hand I do know someone who had the bypass surgery and she lost a LOT of weight 100 lb or so. Do not know how she is doing now, she moved. But she was always throwing up at work in the bathroom if she ate the wrong thing.
I'm sure others have done well, but these are two people I knew fairly well.
