Previous Gastric Bypass, Lap Band Surgery?

I had Gastric Bypass Surgery in 1989 and I have gained almost all my weight back. Does anybody know if I can have Lap Band Surgery?:confused2:

    Yes, it is possible in most cases, you may need to have a couple tests done to confirm that they will be able to successfully perform LB surgery. Good Luck!

    Here's my suggestion to you: Read all you can about Lap Banding, everything. This tool requires a very large amount of discipline. I am just being totally honest with you.

    Call your Bariatric Center when you feel you are mentally ready to begin the process again.
