I take zyprexa (olanzapine) for sleep i am gaining weight doc won't put me on ones that don't cause weight gain i am getting lapband what's the difference bypass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lapband vs bypass: Lapband is less extensive surgery, and it can be reversed. Bypass is the most successful at weight loss, but the side effects can be a problem (frequent diarrhea, especially) think about the "sleeve" surgery as well. It is less extensive and many fine it successful.
