A few family friends have gone the gastric bypass route, and for at least two of them it is working well. For one of them, however, the results of the surgery ended up being fatal. She essentially starved to death over a few years, after many hospitalizations where she had to have a feeding tube to sustain her, as she couldn't keep any food or fluids down, let alone digest them.
