HI all- In my wasted youth, 20+ years ago, I got a (futile) stomach stapling procedure. My hubby and I have decided to go for a lap-band procedure. Anyone have any info on this having been done before?

Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico is one of the only doctors right now in the country who does Lap Bands over a Byapss. He has done several revison surgeries of this kind

Hi, Mary, where are you wanting to be banded at?

Mary (anyone actually - this is a general question),

IF you had WLS by having your stomach stapled so many years ago, why cant you go back in for a revision and have it restapled?

*My MIL had this sugery 20 years ago - lost a ton of weight. Gained some of it back, then became bulemic to 'keep it off'. Ive always wondered why she didnt just go back and have her tummy restapled.*
