Question:
Has anyone had sugery to change from a NAB to RNY?

I had NAB surgery 2 yrs ago. Never had much restriction - never threw up. I lost some weight, but have gained most of it back. I have an abdominal hernia that needs repairing badly, and would like to have RNY surgery at the same time. Is this possible? I would like any advice on repairs or re-do's (changing to a different type WLS surgery. Thanks much in advance, Stacy McClain    — Stacy M. (posted on June 21, 2003)

It is possible to do both hernia repair and wls at the same time.Wondering if you have considered having the lap band since it seems that your problem was with restriction and you were able to lose wt with the NAB.With the Lap Band you are able to control how much restriction you have or dont have.I would be happy to share any information with you.

Hi! Don't mean to sound dumb, but what is a 'NAB'?
