Can I Still Loose Weight?

Yes if you would, my question is I had Gastric-by-pass in 2008 from a very good surgeon Dr. Garth Davis, I lost the weight very fast until he had to go back in and revised the procedure in 2009, because I could not gain any weight at all I lost 250lbs. in less than 6 months. Can I still have the band place in to lose the weight that I want to slowly.
