I am not sure about the By Pass op.
The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is when they remove 85% of your stomach.It resembles a shirt sleeve shape when done.I think it is more like a long thin sausage.It is a fairly simple op but still major surgery.It is considered a cut it off and forget about procedure-minimal maintenance.No dumping etc etc.Have a look on this forum for the VSG group.You might find some good advice there.I did.I have photos of my op somewhere on this forum as well.I think I called the thread Beware Explicit Photos or something similar.
Good luck with your research.
