Depends : All bariatric surgeries are dependent on lifestyle changes to be effective. Any procedure can fail. The surgery is just a tool that gives patients the best opportunity to lose weight successfully and keep it off long term. In average with the gastric bypass patients can lose between 70-80% of their excess body weight.
