Antiseptic is a solution or material used for killing germs (bacteria, viruses, spores, and so on). It does not ensure that an environment is germ free through an entire process, only that most of the germs the antiseptic comes into contact with are destroyed.

Aseptic is way technique that ensures items and surfaces are kept sterile (totally germ free). It prevents germs from ever being introduced, instead of killing them after they are. It is a very effective way of preventing the spread of disease and infection.

There is only one type of gastric bypass surgery, but if you are looking for the most effective type of weight loss or bariatric surgery then gastric bypass is generally found to be more effective than other methods such as lap band surgery. That said, you will still have to worry about what you eat and the portion sizes of the food or you will not lose the weight. This is not a quick weight loss fix.

Yes both are effective. From my experience gastric bypass, although is a more severe procedure, it is safer in the long run and will produce more dramatic results.
