Gastric Bypass or Lap Band surgery?!
Question: Gastric Bypass or Lap Band surgery!?
At this point I would rather exercise my heart out than to get more surgery scars!. And even though they don't call the Lap Band a surgery, they still have to cut the skin and you still get the scars from it!.
I was wondering what the side effects are of each!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Who in the world would say that Lab Band is not a surgery!?!? Of course it is!
With bypass, your internal organs are cut and rearranged; with a lap-band, a foreign object is wrapped around your stomach to create a small pouch!. Both are effective for weight loss!.
