Has anyone thought of waiting for some new or improved type of surgery?

All this discussion of RNY and Lap Band surgeries brings up a question I've had for awhile -- maybe I should wait and see what new surgeries or improvements on current surgeries come along in the next few years. In a few years will I be wanting a revision because I had the 'old' type of surgery they did in 2003!? Is there anything new 'in the works' that anyone knows about -- like at an experimental stage? How have you dealt with this question for yourself?
