Hi All! I feel somewhat ashame to ask and that I am in need of this. but I had the gastric by pass almost 6 years ago! In this time I have had two pregnancies, female difficulties and then a hystorectomy! I have managed to gain nearly 100 pounds back! Sad I know!~ I am trying to get some insight on what I could do. I think I can go and have a "tune up" but man hate to go through that again! I have wondered if any one has heard of t a G.B.P patient having the banding done?
Can anyone shed some light for me, PLEASE!

There are several band doctors across the country that do band over bypass. If you check www.lapband.com they will email you a list of doctors in your area, you just have to call and ask around. ~Mandy

In Ohio I recommend Dr. Trace Curry www.thebanddoctor.com He's done the most of these surgeries in the Midwest area...and experience is important in regards to safety. He also posts here under Dr. C you will see his postings most often in complications, where he helps those who aren't his patients as well.

Hey there ...Well i am new here but i had RNY surgery almost three years ago and i just had a band put on ....I would say the first thing you need to do is see what is going on ...did you streech out your pouch or were you like me and my stoma was wide open ...and then you can see what is the best thing for you to have ....Since i had no restriction i think this was the best thing for me but i am kinda scard since i had a 1oz pouch to begin with and now i will have a 1/2 oz pouch once i have restriction ....but it can be done ......

Yes, you can have LAP-BAND® over gastric bypass. It would be far less invasive then a revision I think.

Would like to talk with you about having a LAP-BAND® after gastric bypass. Would you be willing to answer some questions for me? I had Gastric Bypass 12 years ago and am looking into having the band. Thanks,
MaineMom
