Confused about which surgery to have gastric by pass or lapband

My daughter is 22 and has been overweight her whole life. Almost 6 months ago her and I started our journey together to have lap band surgery. After seeing the surgeon he said he didn't want to do lap band on me because of all my GI problems. I am ok with this, but I am trying to help my daughter make the right decision as to which one to have. She realistically need to lose about 220 lbs. She eventually wants to have children. It has been very stressful trying to decide which one. One of our concerns are that I have to constantly remind her now to take the meds she is on, and I don't want her to get into trouble by missing her supplements. Thank you for you help Dawn/PA
