That's actually not true... What they have found is that long term, the weight loss for both procedures is very similar..... the difference is in the short term.
Initial wieght loss with RNY is about 50% faster the first year than that of the Lapband. You don't see the results as quickly, which can be fustrating but on the other hand your body loses the weight slowly so your metabolism doesn't get as messed up.
There's pros & cons to both sides of this topic.
