I am considering one of these surgeries, but I need more info on both. I am in my 20s and I have tried diet after diet but none work. I know both are pretty similiar but there are some real differences. So if you have had one of these surgeries that would be great. My weight has reached 300lbs and my height is 5'3, so with that info I am seriously over-weight. I know its not a quick fix and it a big change for the rest of my life, but to pro-long my life i'm willing to do it.
