A member asked:
Can you have lap band surgery with barrets esophagus??????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lap Band Surgery: that is a question best left to the surgeon who would be preforming the surgery. As esophageal strictures to my understanding are one of the complications of lap band, I would suspect this is a relative contraindication.
