Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Gastric Polyps



Recommended Posts

Hi all, my operation was cncelled coz my relative said it is not good to do gastric sleeve in a stomach full of polyps , what if u did the sleeve and u had one polyp in that small tube leading to obstruction.

So i want to take time searshing and asking poeple who may have had same problem or if a doctor can give me clue about what to do. I am so depressed coz i thought my problem with this huge body will end and start my new lisf with new body, my polypswere hyperplastic. Thanx for help .

You canceled your surgery because a RELATIVE told you that it wasn't good to do the sleeve with polyps in your stomach? Really? You should ask your doctor about that, not your relatives.

Good luck with your journey!!

when I had my VSG done, my doctor discovered polyps in the part of my stomach that was removed. They were tested and found to be benign but I would have never know if I did not have the surgery. With my smaller stomach I no longer have to worry about polyps. This shoudl be a discussion to have with your surgeon-if they are aware of the stomach polyps and you were still cleared for surgery, then I would not be overly concerned. With all surgery there are risk but I never regretted having the surgery with all the other issues that I was beginning to have due to be obese. I hope you reconsider after speaking with your doctor. Good Luck.

Hi again, this relative is a surgeon but general surgeon, and my doctor is the kind of difficult one, i knew a bout preoperative preparation from the net not from him, he may talk about numbers of surgery he did, he is so busy that will jump from one clinic to another , he did endoscopy for me coz i asked him to do so picture will b clear for him . Why he didnt say no need and the sleeve is your way to get rid of these polyps.

Thanx alot for your respons all, i am feeling better now .

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
