Barrett's Esophagus and Lap Band surgery

My question is, would i be a good canidate for WLS if I have Barrett's esophagus?
The surgeon who i spoke with about the Lap Band said this type surgery is actually
an ANTI-REFLUX surgery as well.  I would like to hear the opinion of another doctor
in the gastro department.  Thank you for any advice you may have.

It probably depends on the type of surgery you would be considering - you should probably speak with a gastroenterologist too.
