Please add the Mini Gastric Bypass. There are Members here who have had it.

Your best bet for an accurate comparison is to search the 'net, see what some surgeons who perform each have to say. Dr. Rutledge, the developer of the mgb has a site with extensive information.

Here are two links to abbreviated animations of each surgery.
