lap band over a bypass

Is there anyone out there lap band world who have a band over a previous bypass. I had a bypass years ago and I am considering having a lapband placed over it. If you have had this procedure please share your experience and did your doctor have a lot of experience with this procedure?

Many people have had the Band placed over bypass. It's becoming kind of common. I do not know which doctors to steer you towards, but over on obesityhelp.com you can do a search in your area for doctors that place the band then call and ask them if they have experience in placing it over a bypass. Are you self-pay or will you be using insurance? If you are using insurance, I would suggest you first call your insurance company and make sure you have coverage to get the band, some will not cover it, and some have a "one per lifetime" clause for weight loss procedures. Also you'll need to know WHO the insurance will pay for you to see if they will cover it.
