My only experience with a friend who went through this procedure is that (unfortunately) as their body cried out for calories, their brain figured out that - considering the limitations - the calories/carbohydrates could still be supplied through alcohol.
Now, that person - with their stomach stapled - is about as fat as ever. The only difference is that every afternoon after work, they drink a bunch of wine until they pass out.
(My friend who underwent this procedure, btw, is an M.D.)
