Lap-Band Versus Gastric Bypass

It has been a tough decision making process for me. It has been nearly a month and still cannot decide what procedure is best for me. My BMI is 40. Which one keeps the weight off the best? Why do more people (approximately 80%) of the patients prefer the more drastic gastric bypass as opposed to Lap-Band? Does anybody know of somebody who has had the Lap-Band for several years that I can talk too? John [email protected]
