I had gastric bypass 12 yrs ago and I'm looking for more restriction as I have gained some weight back. Not many surgeons do revisions like this, but Dr. Acevedos in Mexicali, MX can perform the band over bypass surgery.

Has anyone has this done and if so, are you happy with the results?

Good luck to all new bandsters... hope to get on the bandwagon with y'all soon!

Michele

Hi Michele. I know for sure that Dr. Ortiz does many bandings over bypass. Don't know about Dr. Acevedos, but I'm sure people here will advise. Good luck to you.

I know for certain Dr. Ortiz has done many many band over bypass patients. he is in TJ, there are a few members over at www.lapbandforum.com who Dr. Ortiz has preformed the band over bypass on. You might want to go there and check it out, I'm sure they wil lbe happy to answerany questions you may have. Best of Luck to you

Hello! I have not had GBP. I just wanted to say welcome!

My mind was wandering today & I realized that I had met someone whowas banded over her GBP. It was about 3 years ago. I was working in the hospital & she was my patient. She had gained a lot of weight back from her bypass & her doc recommended the band & she was doing great with it. I'm sorry, but I can't remember her name. I thought you might like to know about her though. That was actually the first time I had heard about the band. She had it done in Dallas. I'm sorry that's all I can remember. I can't believe I forgot about her! She was a psychic & I didn't know it & when I touched her to do a dressing change she went stiff as a board & proceeded to give me a reading. Made every hair on my body stand up! Anyway! I hope this helps you!

There is also a dotor in New York that does band over bypass. I can't remember his name but Don Mills from Inamed mentioned him to me once. Give Don a call he is the sales ad. manager for the company that produces the band 1-800-624-4261 ext 5765. He is very nice and can give you a list of doctors that do band over bypass. ~Mandy
