How is your bloodwork? Any problems so far? Sent from my SM-S727VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm a fat crohnie too and am so glad to hear both your experiences! I have been in remission and off meds for 2 years. I'm planning on surgery in Mexico in the next couple of months. I think VSG is the best option for me as I'm nervous about ulcerations forming in the anastomosis (sp?), malabsorption issues (I've had 2 rounds of iron infusions and my recent blood work again shows significant anemia from heavy period bleeding), fear that any manipulation of my intestines may trigger a flare, and the similarity between dumping syndrome and rapid transit (which, too me, is equitable to living hell). However, my surgeon recommends the mini gastric bypass because I have GERD and VSG could make it worse. How did you decide on VSG over bypass? And, like you, the slider foods and dairy are what make my guts happiest. Nuts, green leafies and high fat have triggered flares in the past. Trying to figure out a modified, crohn's friendly but still healthy post surgery diet will prove interesting, lol! Thank for both your inputs! Sent from my SM-S727VL using BariatricPal mobile app
