Yep, obesity surgery is not an end all.....you still need to make the lifestyle changes
This is a very small sample size though, however it seems to show that old habits and genentic factors may influence your chances of long term success. I am saddened to see that the "failure rate" for the people who needed the weight loss the most was 1/3."

The super obese lost more rapidly from time zero and gained more rapidly after reaching the lowest weight at approximately 2 years than the morbidly obese patients. There was no difference in results between the long- and short-limb operations. There was a significant increase in failures and decrease in excellent results at 10 years when compared with 5 years. The failure rate when all patients are followed for at least 10 years was 20.4% for morbidly obese patients and 34.9% for super obese patients.
