Hi Everyone,

I wanted to know if I got the lap band done over a year ago, can I go back and have the RNY or sleeve done?

Of course you can........and probably should! RNY and VSG are so much more effective than the CRAP-BAND!

Physically, probably. Depending on how much scar tissue and swelling you have from removal you may have to wait a bit in between the two surgeries.

Now with insurance, many will not cover a second surgery unless something has happened or you have had complications, call them to find out!
