In case you were wondering, gastric bypass provides better weight loss than the lap band.

Posted by James Bond (aka Igor) (aka Igor) Nov 21 '10, 22:29

On the bypass you can loss up to 75% of your excess body weight. While on the lap band you loss around 40-50%.

But of course, gastric bypass is riskier than the lap band.

my favorite neighbor died to be thin. Had the bypass (cause her daughter did) but was never the same, had issues for a year and died of complications -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 23:42 1
- According to the doc the current mortality for bypass is 2 - 4 per 1000. - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 21, 23:50
