mini bypass

I would like to know if anyone has had the mini bypass surgery and if you have had that surgery please enlighten me on how you felt dduring the pre-op stage. I need to lose 50lbs. I am 5' and weighs 205. I desperately need to get it off. I am a stroke survivor with many other medical problems. I would greatly appreciate any feed back, advice or direction.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Research Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)  

I had the mini gastric bypass in October 2014 I have lost 51 pounds and have no regrets. insurance does not cover it so it was self pay.

Thank You Janice N. for your response. What was all involved in the surgery. Iam think about the Non-Surgical regimen. How much did you have to pay. I am disabled. I have had several strokes and it is hard for me to really do what I want to do. I am wondering if either of these will work for me. Again, thanks for your reposnse. Looking forward to hearing from you.
