My surgeons said that the choice between lap bands and bypasses depends on why you are overweight. If you overeat in general then the lap band will be as effective. If a large part is from sweets then the bypass will be more effective.
The bypass can be more effective because it's 2 different weight loss vectors. The size restriction from the banded off area and the bypass pouch is present in both.
But with the bypass you also don't absorb as many calories/nutrients. (Thus bypass is a bit more risky as far as deficiencies go.)
The bypass also has dumping syndrome. If you eat to much sugar your body spikes similarly to a diabetic because your body can't stop processing the sugar.
(I'm not a doctor but I'm someone who went from 430 to 230 via the bypass. Though I've gone back up to 275 and have no where near the muscle definition of the OP)

I don't agree with it but considering how many of the sponsoring organizations are churches I understand why.
