Need info on Banding after JIB intestinal bypass

Hi, I had the intestinal bypass, (my stomach not touched in any way) and understand I am one of the few who have survived. My Doctor was Dr. DiNella in Muscle Shoals and he did something which he referred to as a "modified bypass". This is probably why I have had as few complications as I have. My primary complication has been bypass arthritis but I have some control over that. I have regained 3/4 of my weight. I am considering getting a band. 3 Mexican doctors have offered to do it, stating it will be perfectly safe. My local banding group will not even return my phone calls. I am searching on all boards for someone who had the intestinal bypass (not RNY or VGB) and have added or are considering adding the band. If you know of anyone, or if you know anything about this issue, please reply.

Corliss, Sorry, I know nut-ting about this. Just wanted to wish you luck in finding a good doctor and hope you continue to live well. Joyce
