Has anyone here ever had a second Bariatric surgery after you gained your weight back plus more…from the first one? TIA

I had lap band surgery and am going to have the gastric sleeve done.

I’ve had the lap band and it slipped so I had a revision to a gastric sleeve. Can I still get a gastric bypass?

I have no idea. I hope you can. My lap band also slipped, and I had it removed. I have somehow managed to keep 50 pounds off.

I did. I had my revision to from sleeve to bypass due to GERD, not weight. Because the normal anatomy was no longer there for the "easy" fix, I had to go to bypass to solve the issue. Now that is my personal medical situation, so your situation may be different, but it is worth a discussion with your medical team to investigate more.
