hi, would anyone out there be good enough to share their experience or knowledge of whether i can get a band as i had h-pylori about 3 years ago and dont know if i have an ulcer or not(idont have symptoms)., but apparently i wont be able to get my band if i have a suspected ulcer. i will be devastated as i so want to go ahead. i dont want to talk to clinics until i know whether they will turn me away. im paying for it myself and dont want to mess up my chances. help!:confused:

thanks so much

Should be able to. It is likely that your surgeon will require an Endoscopy to see if an ulcer is present. I have had a long history of reflux and was required an Endoscopy as part of my pre-op process.

It is better to know before going in if an ulcer is present. They can treat the ulcer and still band. If they don't treat it serious complications are going to mean a removal or worse.
