I had a Lapband in 2003 and it was removed due to issues in 2/2017. I've gained approx 30# since. The doc that took out the band would not convert me to Gasric Sleeve due to scar tissue and band erosion. Can any other surgery be done. This doc only does sleeves. I was wondering about bypass? He said the staple line wouldn't work due to scarring but does that not heal ever? I know the medical field does amazing things and I don't see why scar tissue is a problem.
