Gastric bypass surgery and gastric lap-band surgeries are similar and have been proven to produce similar weight loss achievements for patients. Many people are therefore wondering which is better: gastric band versus gastric bypass. The big difference between the two bariatric surgeries is the risk factor. Gastric bypass is a much more instrusive and complex surgery. The risks are also more serious than with lap-band, although both come with their own sets of risks. The morality rates are very different. According to statistics the mortality rate for gastric band is 1 in every 2000 surgeries while the mortality rate for gastric bypass patients is 1 in every 200. Still, the lap-band is newer and many still prefer the bypass method.

The relationship between gastric bypass and moderate alcohol consumption can be tricky. A study in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons has shown that an individuals tolerance for alcohol lessens after they undergo gastric bypass.

In these cases, individuals use alcohol as a supporting crutch in the way that they had previously used food. Despite these risks, though, doctors say that alcohol in moderation is okay for people who have undergone gastric bypass, but those patients should be aware of the risks involved.
