Crohn's

[chefcoll 53]

I was just wondering if anyone here has Crohn's disease. I am pre-op and because of this cannot do "regular" Gastric. I am wondering if you have been sleeved, has it impacted your Crohn's? Better? Worse?

THANK YOU!

I don't have crohns and have not been sleeved yet (Dec), however my dear friend has Crohns and was sleeved 1.5 years ago and has NO issues at all!! Now we know it's not the cure for Crohns but something with this surgery helps...diet perhaps?

I also have Crohns. I have had my consultation and am planning on having the sleeve done. I have the pre-op 6 month diet to do for insurance. I would also love to hear from fellow Crohns patients that had it done!

I do have Crohn's and I have been sleeved for 2 weeks now. To early to really tell. Dr. Brengman took me off of my asacol, but so far so good!

Thank you everyone! I have my upper endoscopy tomorrow. This will determine if I can even be sleeved because of reflux i never knew I had! Grrrrrrrrr! I was hoping to use the "better for Crohn's to be sleeved" card if I had to!!
