Is It Possible to Have Gastric Bypass if the Stomach Stappling I Had Done 19 Years Ago Has Failed? (photo)

I had stomach stapling done 19 years ago. I went from 250 pounds down to 130 pounds in about 7 months. Well through no ones fault but my own I have regained all the weight and then some. I now weigh 340 pounds. My question is, Can a person have gastric bypass done if infact they once had their stomach stapled even though the staples are long gone?
