Gastric Bypass Cost

I am 34 years old. I weigh 225 lbs and have fluctuated between 205 and 240 for about 14 years. I have seen a couple of people who have had gastric bypass or the lapband procedure and I want to do it so bad. However, I am curious about others who have had either procedure and how the outcome was, side effects, regrets etc. Also how much does the procedure cost and would you consider it worth it.
