I had RNY in 2001 - have maintained over 100 off but still not to goal and the loss has stopped.  Can one have the lap band now to help start the weight loss again?

Thanks!

I know it's been done.  Not sure of the particulars.  Try asking Dr. Curry on the LapBand board, or checking on the revisions board.

Yes, it can be done.

However, I'm 4 years out, have had two kiddos postop, and am still losing without any additional surgery.  It took a hard look at my diet, going back to the basics, and actually working it.. but it can be done.

I'm 6 years PO and have thought about this myself, but I only have 30lbs to goal so I know I wouldn't qualify.  I'm happy with my progress, just got to get back in gear and work my tool...  Good luck!!!!!
