Thanks liz, but I have called both of them and I was told that none of their docs do the band over gastric bypass, have you heard anything different ?   please let me know

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.
