WHAT IS THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN LAP BAND AND GASTRIC AS FAR AS EATING?

I have done all my research on gastric surgery and I know I am a light weight and may have issues getting a surgen to do that surgery on me so now I want to look into the lap band surgery. Can anyone help me out here? How much does it cost, do you dump like the gastric people do, any tips? Also, I am curious can you eat whatever you want since it is only making your pouch smaller with the band around it and that is why you loose weight because you cant eat much? No offense but I dont know anything about the lap band so this is just some questions I have because I would like to learn more about it. Also, how long can you leave that in is it forever? Thanks, Danielle
