Most people lose more weight up front with a gastric bypass, but overtime results are similar to those using gastric sleeves and bands. Most people choose the gastric bypass, perhaps in part because losing weight quickly is a priority for many people. Another reason might be that gastric bypasses are more effective in curing diabetes. Regardless of what method you choose, you are likely to lose significant amounts of weight. Remember, gastric bypasses have been around for the longest, and are the most widely used method of surgical weight loss.
