I have an aunt that had this surgery done who has always had serious problems with her weight. I was not very optomistic when I heard that she was going to do it. My aunt lost a bit of weight and then gained it all back and stretched her stomach out again through her eating habits. The problem is that people have to change their lifestyle and no surgery is going to do that for you. I first read this article a week or so ago off of Fark, and felt sad for the girl because her parents don't do anything. They knew she had a weight problem, but still bought her all that junk food, and let her sit on her ass all night and watch tv. I guarentee that this surgery will not help her lose that much weight in the long run.
