Weight loss surgery can be done laparoscopically on almost everyone even with previous surgery. We always start by laparoscopy and if we find that the operation cannot be completed safely for anatomical reasons we convert to the open procedure and complete the operation. Nothing is lost by this approach and there is much to be gained. The operation is the same on the inside.
