LapBand Sugrery After RNY?

[Guest PeekaBoo]

I Had RNY 18 months ago and have lost 90 pounds. I have been battling for months with my weight. I was wondering if anyone here had gastric bypass and then later...after not being as successful as you hoped, had the lapband?

Any input is great. Thanks and great site!

Hey peeks~!!

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling!

I am new to this board, but I know I have heard of folks being banded after RNY......go to www.spotlighthealth.com and go to the lap band board there, I know there are a couple of folks there that were banded after previous wls.

Best of luck to you!!

Hi Peeks and Dawn,

I have no idea about this, but does anyone know how that would work? I would think the stomach would be too small to have a pouch around it.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.........

I've had a RNY and been banded. I lost some weight with the RNY and then began to gain it back. My surgeon suggested the band as a way to avoid more weight gain and to increase my previous loss. So far, so good. I am two months since my banding and I feel OK and I've lost a good deal of weight. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but if the RNY doesn't work and you have the option, it's worth consideration.

Thanks for the replies. I see my doctor next week and will definitely be talking to him about my troubles as well as options!
