Teh Lap Band and Laproscopic Gasrtic bypass are more dangerous. My husband and I had the Open Gasrtic bypass. It is where they take the intestine and re-rout it to the top of the stomach and they staple the stomach in half. We have had little problem with it. Our surgeon refused to do the laproscopic for this surgery because it was a higher chance for infection and is not reversible in case of problems. The open is about 90% reversible...they do cut out some of the intestine, but there is enough to reverse it. My husband lost over 200 pounds and I lost 90 pounds before getting pregnant with our son, and we are both off of our diabetic meds.

I'm no expert but I do believe there are a couple different kinds. Your doctor would decide which one is best for you. The more intestine which is is re-routed or the more stomach stapled, the more dangerous it becomes. You can get in a situation where there is so little digestive track, that calories are not absorbed. This means you can eat but be "starving" yourself to death. All of this would be discussed before any surgery. Good luck.
