Which surgery is best?

I originally wanted the lap-band procedure, but the doctor that I made an appointment with said that the lap-band procedure is not considered safe, but I keep reading about people who have had the lap-band procedure done and they seem fine. So I decided to get the laparascopic gastric bypass done instead. Is there really a difference and is there really a safety issue? I am already kind of scared so when the secratary mentioned safety issues with the lap-band I immediately ran with that. Any input, PLEASE?
