Lap over RNY
Poppink, I called dr Allens office again today, ( and this time was very nice, but I talked to someone else) but was told he will only to lapband over rny on the patients that he did gastric bypass on. not someone elses pt. were you one of his pt before ? Thanks for trying to help me, good luck with yours
Lap band over bypass may be the only remotely permanent fix to a stretched RNY pouch. Repairing a stretched RNY pouch involves more cutting and stapling and the fixed pouch can still be stretched out again. When a banded pouch stetches, an unfill will usually fix the damage. I encourage you to contact some of the band over bypass pts on this board and not let someone who has never been banded talk you out of a fairly sound procedure.
