I have read several accounts of people having their VBG converted to RNY because they gained all their weight back. You have to remember that just having the surgery isn't all there is to it. It just gives you a VERY powerful tool. You can beat it, and cheat, and stretch the pouch, but why would you want to do that after all the hard work you went through to get the surgery in the first place.
