How Does RNY Compare To C-Sections?

I HAVE HAD 3 C-SECTIONS AND I AM WONDERING HOW THE RISKS AND SEVERITY OF THE SURGERY COMPARE WITH A SURGERY LIKE THAT! AM I AT MORE OF A RISK WITH THE RNY THAN I WAS WITH C-SECTIONS OR ARE THE RISKS RELATIVELY THE SAME? I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THE PAIN AND RECOVERY FROM AN RNY ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO A C-SECTION. SOME HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD TAKE AN RNY OVER A C-SECTION ANYDAY! PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I AM A LITTLE SCARED! I WONT HAVE THIS SURGERY OUT OF DESPERATION AND I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT, BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO EXPERIENCE ANYTHING UNEXPECTED AND THEN REGRET HAVING IT! ALSO, ON AVERAGE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MAJOR COMPLICATIONS POST-OP?
