Can you have gastric bypass after total colectomy?

Yes: Additional abdominal surgery and the obesity are challenging. Presuming the colon surgery was not for malignancy.

Bypass: If you have extensive abdominal surgery such as a tital colectomy a gastric bypass is not a good choice for you however you can look into other options such as the band or the sleeve gastrectomy.
