Aim: This study will be a 10 year follow-up of the RCT conducted by this research group, assigned a registration number ACTRN12605000113651, registered 9/08/2005.

Randomisation details: Obese patients were randomized to either the medical or surgical group. The medical arm received treatment with a VLCD plus ongoing individualized care encompassing other obesity drugs as determined and behaviour modification programs. The surgical arm received treatment with the Lap-Band System, a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band.
Timeline and method of data collection: Patients were initially followed for two years from randomization, and in this study we wish to extend this followup to ten years.
Data will be collected on all patients via telephone or in person contact. All outcomes including weight will be retaken as per the original protocol.
