Can Lap Band be performed after having a tummy tuck?

ilusionsz
I had a tummy tuck performed in 2012. I gained all my weight back. I am currently at 233 lbs, height of 5'4 and a BMI of 40. I was interested in Lap Band as a tool for weight loss. Would I be able to have the procedure done even after having the tummy tuck?
