I would say you can. If surgeons are doing banded plications all at once, I'm sure you can have a band put in after a plication. It's possible that your friends' surgeon didn't want to put in a lapband over a plication he didn't do in the first place. Just guessing. The banded plications are becoming more and more frequent.
