Has anyone had the vertical banding surgery and how do you like it?

I was wondering if anyone out ther has had the vertical banding surgery instead of the others? I am considering the surgery and have been to support meetings and saw women with serious side effects after the surgery with the rny and they have lost most or all of their hair and skin color and nutrition. Also baggy eyes. I was wondering if the vertical banding has the same effects as the other alternitive surgeries. I don't want to lose my long hair or pride. Any help would be appreciated.... Thanks
