Has anyone been to Mexico tho have a lap band placed over a previous bypass.  I am considering this as an alternative.  I had bypass 8 years ago and have gained back all of my weight except for 30 lbs.  If you have a had this procedure please share your experience.

Not something I would recommend.. try going to the revision forum, though. (personally I think you should plan a revision.. smaller pouch and revised stoma)

There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.

i went to mexico and had a band put over my RNY.  And i havee loved every min of it.  My RNY "Broke" in  a way so now i know what my surgery was spouse to feel liek to begin with.  I have had no issues the only think i can think of is you do lose weight slower for some reason not sure why but i have noticed that and also with others i have talked to.  Maybe it is becasue we are use to the fast weight loss with the RNY and now it is slower i do not know.  But i got my band a year ago and i have lost 50-60 pounds ...I have not weighed myself latley actually ......but i love it and it is adjustable so when i go on vacation i have them take some out and when i get back i put it back in  Laura
