Question:
Am I eligable for RNY surgery if I have had previous gastroplasty?

I have had previous gastroplasty without any bowel resection in 1994, am I eligible for the new RNY surgery?    — [Anonymous] (posted on March 28, 2001)

From what I've seen this varies Dr. to Dr. its up to them essentially. Check w/ your local surgeons that perform bariatric surgery and see what they have to say. Good luck.. I hope this works out for you.

Yes. I had my revision in April 2000 and am now down 143 lbs. I only wish I could have had it done sooner. Good luck!
