LapBand after 8yr RNY - Your experience?
I personally have no experience in this, but I have seen a few BOB (Band Over Bypass).
There was a lady who just had her BOB revised to a DS a few months back.
Good Luck on YOUR Journey!!!!

I just typed Band Over Bypass into the search feature and have come up with some links:

I have just started the exciting insurance game of trying to get approval for Band over Gastric bypass (8 yrs post op) and I figured I should be as well informed as what to expect before the revision and after.
Any info would be amazing!! I am new to the site and new to the world of forums (finally got the courage to write a post) so please excuse poor spelling and rambling :)
Thanks!
Nikki
