Answers: help?

it is a operation where they put a round band like around your tummy inside ( i think it is ajustable)then you can only eat very very small amts at a time
look it up on gooogle,yahoo or ask jeeves
you can get more details there

check them out on Wikipedia. They're surgeries to help you lose weight. Gastric bypass shortens your intestines and makes your stomach really small; lap band puts a ring around your stomach so you can only eat small amounts.

You have 2 stomachs. Bypass surgery is when they actually cut and move your upper intestine from one stomach chamber to the other, effectively bypassing one chamber all together. The band is when they, instead of cutting and moving your intestine, wrap a band around a stomach chamber making it smaller. Both reduce the amount of food you can hold.
