I had a Roux-en-y procedure 14 months ago and have stainless steel clips, I am

scheduled to have an MRI done on my liver in the next week, I was told by another gastric bypass patient that you cannot have an MRI because of the clips/staples. Have any of you have an MRI after bypass surgery with stainless steel clips/staples. I ask the Radiologist and she stated that there is a long list of item which will prevent you from having and MRI, but that if the clips were at least 6 weeks old I could have the MRI. Needless to say I am a little bit concerned and scared at the thought that the clips could be pulled out.
