Well to begin with, First to have any of them done! Your doctor has to refer you for any of them! You Have to be Obese, not just over weight!!!

Then if a Doctor's finding after a complete study of your body fat, health problems etc. Then he'll refer you to a study course to see if you even qualify for any you asked about!!! Then if the person who evaluates you and thinks your a good candidate, then the report is given to your Doctor!

Then your Doctor submits the costs to your Insurance company to see what there going to pay on all the bills and then he will see if your capable of paying all the costs your Insurance won't and make either payment plans with you, or demand you have the money upfront before the operation or what ever can take place!!!

My wife had the Gastric Bypass done because she was 278 pounds and only 5 ft 7 inches tall! and had blood pressure problems, diabetic, and close to heart problems, so she needed it to be done! If your thinking to have any of the ones you asked about, just because you don't want to be fat anymore and have no real health problems!!!! And not on a bunch of medications!

Then just forget it!!! You can get all the weight off yourself!!! Exercise, small portions at meal time and quit all the snackings inbetween meals and quit eating all the stuff that made you fat in the first place! Eat like a 6 year old would eat!!! Give up all the fatty foods and fast foods joints! And a great helper is Slim Fast, but only use as directed!!! Or you will get sick! You can't drink slim fast and fill your face too! you will get sick and diarea really bad!!!

Why anyone who loves to eat and in quanities, feel a operation is the only way to go!!! Those are only for people that there Obese weight is going to kill them soon if they don't! Always remember one thing! You have to eat to live! But you are not suppose to live to eat!!!

No one forced you to eat all the food that made you gain all the weight! There was no gun at your head! No one forced you to eat seconds, or heaped your plate! No one forces you to snack all day and drink all the pop you do!!! You are in full control of your body, not anyone else! Nobody made you fat, you did that all on your own!

Now you have to get the weight off all on your own!!! Diet drugs aren't the answer either, just a bunch of wasted money on empty promises!!! Start drinking 2 full glasses of water, Right before every meal! and instead of pop during the day, Have plenty of Ice water and 100% juices!!! You have to completely change your bad eating habits, eat lots of fruits as snacks instead of chips cakes, candies etc.! You can really do it , But you have to really want too!

Remember food can be your friend to a heallty life, but a buse it and it can be your worse enemy and you will be miserable the rest of your life! And die a very early age!!! Sure it all tastes good, but is it worth killing yourself over!!! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life spending 1,000's of dollars every year for medications just so you can eat anything and all you want!!!

If the food is your best friend, go get some counseling! Food is not the answer to solve any problem!!! Those operations are not for the purpose of looking good!! You can get the weight back off, by exercise and eating only healthy ways!!!

The risk of any operation you mentioned is ungoing health problems, infections and death!!!! A complete overhaul of your eating habits and excercise is a lot better way to go, with no RISKS!!! And doesn't cost a lot of money either!
