Hi everyone, My name is Julie and I have started the process to have my sleeve done. I went in for my weight-in appointment and to go through all of my medical history yesterday. I got some good news and some bad news...... good news is I lost 6lbs since Monday not even trying to lose it........ Bad news is they are going to do a stomach scope on Tuesday because of my past history with peptic ulcer disease. Has anyone ever had this done? If so, If they find something will this be a determining factor on whether or not they will do the sleeve?

I was scoped during my gallbladder surgery this past February. They've been performing gastrectomies for peptic ulcers for decades upon decades, and the sleeve would be a better option for you over RNY or the Band. The risk of ulcer with a "pouch" is much higher than with the sleeve. You might have a different post-op acid reducer medication regimen to control acid production, and you might have to have a different dietary guideline due to the pre-existing condition of peptic ulcers. I recommend checking out some of the ulcer forums for more information regarding gastrectomies for ulcerative conditions so you can get some firsthand experience from other patients who have already had partial gastrectomies.

Keep us posted on your progress and let us how things go for you after your scope appointment.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
