Lap Band or Gastric Bypass

 My surgeon told me that the Lap Band has a high failure rate.  I know my surgeon personally on a social level and this is what he has found in his practice.

Please read this article.  It suggests that a VSG or a refined DS is going to become the standard for WLS.  Good luck on your journey!
