  • I don't get all the nit-picking debate over which is the best surgery to have in the comments. I had open RYGBS 10+ yrs ago. It saved my life. I was a kid who weighed 420lbs, lost over 250lbs. I haven't gained a single pound of it back. Bariatric Surgery has come a long way over the years. One thing has not, and will never change: Bariatric Surgery is NOT a cure, solution, or shortcut to lose weight.It's a last resort. It's a tool to help you live a healthier life. Don't take it for granted.

    I think ur ryt.

  • this is GOOD my teacher discuss this to us .. and i think there is no detrimental about this surgery..

    of course the dr. will study this first before implementing to their costumer/patient.

  • this is horrible...

  • so stomach acids go into the intestines? that can't be good

  • @Flameofsorrow..The Lap-band is NOT less effective than ROUX NY ..A landmark study of 14,000 patients shows it is more effective long term but patients will lose about 20% more weight the fist year. However the concentration of muscle and bone loss is much higher due to nutritional deficiencies, thus band patients lose more actual fat which is why they look much healthier and not as drawn out. There is no argument on DS being more, effective however with a 25% complication rate its not worth it
