Lap Band after Gastric By-pass????

[Yarah 0]

It's been 6 years since my gastric by-pass. I've gained weight since being pregnant 4 years ago. I'm still down 45 lbs from before gastric by-pass. I can eat almost anything. It is like my stomach is huge. Would a Lap-Band help me????:juggle:

Yarah,

As someone who recently replaced her band with RNY I am quite familiar with the "Revision" section over at www.obesityhelp.com I've read there that people have gotten the lap band after their RNY stopped being effective as well as other procedures. You might want to check it out and good luck with what you decide to do, Nancy.:juggle:

Is there any place like this for RNY ? I like this place were everyone can talk and knows where you are coming from? My doctor wants me to get a RNY instead of a band with my health. Please help if you can.

Yarah, there are actually several different procedures that can help "repair" a Bypass such as yours. The "Band after Bypass", also know as "BOB", and the ROSE procedure, which is where they use an incisionless technique to go in and tighten up the expanded stomach. They are both very good options. I think that the ROSE is the one to look into now, though. That will be the answer long-term, i do believe. It's easy, and they are doing very well with it now.

Don't lose hope....there IS an answer to the problem for you!

There is a forum on here for "other weight loss surgeries".

Click on Home, scroll down, and you'll find it.

As anyone here will tell you....do your research and decide which surgery you think is right for you. You're the one who will be living with it, not your doctor. You may, or may not, decide RNY is right for you. :juggle: Good luck!
