Bank over Bypass

I had gastric bypass 8 years ago.  I started gaining 2 years ago and have now gained back 25 of the 130 I had lost.  I see there is a few procedures our there.  The one that looks like it may work would be the band over bypass. 

Is this a new procedure?  Can someone that has had it give me details?  How long ago?  Is it working?  What else seems to work? 

Help!

hello, im tina. i found your post very interesting. im over 7 yrs post op. have gained back 25lbs in last year. some i sure is due to not being on thyroid medication, being tired and out of work. just curious what my options are...thanks

It's putting a LapBand over your stretched-out stoma. You'd need an endoscopy first to see if your stoma has, indeed, stretched out.

You should also research the possibility of converting your RNY to a DS---but I doubt any surgeon or insurance company will do a revision for a regain of only 25 pounds. Sad, but true.
