Can anyone tell me where I can get a description of other wls, the risks, the statistics, and the successes? is there one place that has all of that?  I just don't know where to start. I never thought I would consider another surgery but after regaining and all the pain with lapband here I am thinking about it. I know how much better I felt at 258 then I do at 288. :(

The above link explains some of the WLS' It's probably best to READ the differences between them and then decide what is BEST for you in regards to How much you need to lose, Do you only need the restrictive nature of the Vertical Sleeve? or would it be best to get and RNY=gastric bypass  which had the Malabsorption aspect?  Do you have diabetes, if so then DS might be something to consider since it has the best results for diabetes. As I'm sure your aware of ONE WL Surgery does not fit all. you can find allot of information by just doing a Google search on the different surgeries and U-Tube has video's to actually SHOW the procedures.

You may want to check out the failed band group.  Lots of stories.  Many have gone on to another WLS.
