If you have ever had a stomach stapling for weight loss can you get a band?

Yes: People have sometimes had lap bands after gastric bypass with good success. Check with your doctor to see if you are a good candidate. Good luck.

Sometimes: There are some surgeons who are placing bands over a sleeve or a bypass but it is somewhat controversial. Talk to your surgeon to see if you are a candidate.
