Figure 13. RCT outcomes at ten years (adapted from reference 129). Weight loss outcomes for the surgical group for the ten year period are shown by the continuous line. After completion of the two year randomised study, 17 of 40 patients in the non-surgical arm elected to cross-over to the LAGB. Their weight loss following cross-over is shown by the dotted line.
