Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 << The VGB has a 60% failure rate and of the 40% who have success with it the excess weight loss is around 50%. For example; if you are 100 pounds over weight you with the VGB you have a 40% chance of losing and maintaining a 50 pound weight loss long term. >> The success rate and loss is much better with the DS, I know. Has anyone heard of anyone who did not have a success with the DS? And if so, why wasn't it a success? ie didn't lose enough weight, didn't keep it off, etc. I read about some people thinking their surgery isn't successful, when after 3-6 months they " only " lost 40-60 lbs. and where on a plateau. I would not consider that a failure. Especially after such a short amount of time! Pam in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
