Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I was told by my Parkshadeland's KP PCP that the lapband procedure is not as effective as the GI Bypass...as far as losing the excess weight and keeping it off long-term. Have any of you heard similar statements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
