I need to have surgery for Colostomy. I need to find out if possible after colostomy surgery could have the lap band removed?

Only your doctor can give you details but, yes, bands can be removed.

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Do you mean during the same surgery or at different times? They can be removed but those are 2 different areas of the body so would require surgeons for each particular area of expertise.
