DS/Fobi Pouch??

Hi, I am looking into all of my options. Because of my high BMI I have been leaning towards DS, but I was also told to look at the Fobi Pouch too. My question is why choose this over DS?? I haven't really seen a comparison of these two and I would love it if anyone can offer their insight! Thanks!!

I have the fobi pouch.

The only difference from a regular RNY is that when you get the fobi, the surgeon places a loose band around the stoma (the place where the pouch empties).

The purpose is to help minimize streaching of the stoma which can lead to weight regain in the long term.

There is no proof that this band works in preventing long term weight regain.

The DS is a completely different surgery which i am not well informed on.
