Guest cateyes Posted November 25, 2005 Hello, I had GBP surgery in 1998 & ended up having a revision due to a blockage. I am now thinking of having the lap band but want to know is there any one out there that has had this done, if so how are you doing & what Dr. did your surgery? Any info will help.

Guest cateyes Posted November 25, 2005 When I had the revision done the Doctor made my opening wider so that my intake would be more. So now that my intake is more I am gaining wt. so that is why Im wondering if anyone has had this done. I have heard that it is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's me-Debbydo 0 Posted November 26, 2005 I met a doc recently at an obesity talk for nurses. Dr. Sapala. Does revisions and has been practicing in baitrics simce the 1970's. There's a tecniques that is patented under his name for bypass. Anyway he was also in the clinical trials for the band. He seemed bery knowledgable with the alternatives.
