Possible to Have Second Gastric Bypass Surgery?

jenljoh
I had gastric bypass surgery 30 years ago. I received no follow-up support. The surgery was reversed about 8 years later. I had lost a lot of weight and kept it off until after the reverse.I am quite obese again. What are the chances I could be approved for another bypass surgery? I believe the surgery is much improved and there is better support. My knees are failing because of my weight.
