"Patients who have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery now have access to an incisionless procedure that appears highly effective at reversing weight gain, according to data presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons...Note that the weight was regained and another operation was "needed."
Up to 50 percent of patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery begin to regain weight after two years. This often occurs because the stomach pouch and stoma, the opening to the small intestine, slowly stretch out, allowing the patient to eat more without feeling full."
If something works, there is no need to fix it and up to 50% do not fail.
Period.
