googiemoon 0 Posted February 2, 2012 Hi, I'm totally new to this. I have some pretty bad medical conditions and I am thinking about having this done. My right carotid artery is 100% blocked and I have a new stent in the left in April. Apparently the left was almost completely blocked and this was caught in the nick of time. Last week I had to have a stent put into my left iliac artery also. One of my doctors suggested the lap band and thought that I would qualify because of these medical issues. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had major medical issues and had this done. What were the outcomes? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
