The rouex-ey-Y gastric bypass has a mortality rate of between .2 and .4 percent done in centers of excellence where people have a lot of experience with that procedure. The laparoscopic gastric band has a mortality rate of about .1 percent or 1 in 1000. The other procedures have rates about the same depending whether it’s a restrictive procedure or the gastric bypass.
