Recommended Posts

Hi All! I feel somewhat ashame to ask and that I am in need of this. but I had the gastric by pass almost 6 years ago! In this time I have had two pregnancies, female difficulties and then a hystorectomy! I have managed to gain nearly 100 pounds back! Sad I know!~ I am trying to get some insight on what I could do. I think I can go and have a "tune up" but man hate to go through that again! I have wondered if any one has heard of t a G.B.P patient having the banding done?

Can anyone shed some light for me, PLEASE!

There are several band doctors across the country that do band over bypass. If you check www.lapband.com they will email you a list of doctors in your area, you just have to call and ask around. ~Mandy

In Ohio I recommend Dr. Trace Curry www.thebanddoctor.com He's done the most of these surgeries in the Midwest area...and experience is important in regards to safety. He also posts here under Dr. C you will see his postings most often in complications, where he helps those who aren't his patients as well.

Hey there ...Well i am new here but i had RNY surgery almost three years ago and i just had a band put on ....I would say the first thing you need to do is see what is going on ...did you streech out your pouch or were you like me and my stoma was wide open ...and then you can see what is the best thing for you to have ....Since i had no restriction i think this was the best thing for me but i am kinda scard since i had a 1oz pouch to begin with and now i will have a 1/2 oz pouch once i have restriction ....but it can be done ......

Would like to talk with you about having a lap band after gastric bypass. Would you be willing to answer some questions for me? I had Gastric Bypass 12 years ago and am looking into having the band. Thanks,

MaineMom

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
