indiangal 0 Posted October 15, 2006 I'm not sure if I am in the right place to ask this question or not, but... I had gastric bypass surgery fifteen years ago. About a year and a half ago I had to have it reversed due to life threatening complications. I have gained almost all my weight back post wls and wondered if anyone knows if it would be possible for me to get a lapband now. I would truly appreciate any insight that anyone could give me.

socalgal3 4 Posted October 15, 2006 I'm no expert, I didn't even realize you could have gastric bypass reversed! Saying that, there are surgeons who will do a lap-band after a bypass, but you really need to speak to a surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koala 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Dr. Ariel Ortiz does lapband surgeries after bypass. You might do a google search to find his website and start reading there. My cousin has the same situation as you, and she's considering doing the lapband. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted October 15, 2006 I have heard of some that has had it done, but I would assume it would depend on how much surgery you have had, the condition you are in, and what doctor you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
