Can I have the Gastric Balloon 10 years post RNY bypass?

USAKatie
My gastric bypass was complicated during surgery when blood supply to my stomach was not optimal for some reason. The surgery was competed but the stomach could only be made the size of a man's fist (not a thimb as desired). I worked hard & lost 90-100lbs. I was about 270lbs & 5'3". I could use losing another 30-40lbs but now struggle with being able to eat more than I should. I am interested in knowing if I am a possible candidate for the gastric balloon. I am in otherwise good health.
