  12. can anyone tell me why didnt they choose gastric bypass instead of lapband. the numbers with gastric are sooo much successful . i see the lapbanders struggle so much more and seemed to have slower progress or non at all. I changing my mind about lapband and leaning towards gastric. After all this weighting and struggle i want to be successful.im meeting with my surgeon minday about my doubts. He said gastric is better for me . i need to lose 130lbs.
