Your surgeon will evaluate you on an individual basis. It is possible to have a laparoscopic gastric bypass after having open abdominal surgery or other laparoscopic abdominal procedures. Our surgeons believe that every patient has the right to be given the opportunity to choose minimally invasive surgery as an option.
