Interesting Post on the Main Board
This post has some great information in it and explains a lot about why there is so much variation in the way we each respond to WLS. It certainly pokes holes in the premise that we are each entirely responsible for our own outcome.

I always believed there was a healthy mix of both. Sometimes it IS the patient and sometimes it IS the surgery. I'll gladly admit that when I have trouble with the band - with the exception of the hiatal hernia - the trouble is brought on by me. I need a fill, I need less fill, I need to eat better, I need to eat less, etc.
