Originally had Gastric Btpass now wanting Lap Band

I originally had gastric bypass done 8 years ago and lost about 50lbs which I have since gained back. I am now with Kaiser Socal and trying to get LAP-BAND® and I am wondering what my chances are if having already had another surgery through a different provider years ago... Any thoughts?? I am 5' 4", 261lbs and having all the same complaints I originally had befoer my first surgery. I'm just worried that Kaiser won't do the surgery because it's a pre-existing condition or something.
