A consecutive series of 33 grossly obese individuals treated by gastric partitioning is described. There was no operative mortality. Weight loss at 1 yr was 19% of original body weight and little loss occurred thereafter. Radiological assessment of the proximal compartment demonstrated progressive postoperative enlargement.
