I am a post-op lapbander. I have heard of people who have had RNY and are struggling against weight regain having lapband surgery. There are also several up and coming procedures, one called the Rose procedure, and one called Stomafix. I believe both of them go into the pouch through the esophagus and tighten the pouch. So far I am holding my own weight loss wise. The nice thing about the band is its adjustability. I recently had a fill as my weight was creeping up a bit and I was getting hungry after two hours. Now my weight is back down and I fill up faster again.

The lap band is not as quick as the gastric bypass but it is a nice steady of weight loss to give your body and your mind time to adjust to the loss.
