Is VSG supposed to put you into remission with Crohns? I did hear that VSG is the only wls recomended to people with crohns....

Not that I'm aware of but I am much improved from a frequency perspective.

Yoga lady I had no idea. It's been 18 months for me. Gave up 6mp and Asacol. Still take Humira and Neurontin for Crohn's related spondylarthopy and Enthesitis which I don't mind at all. I'm actually ( dare I say it) enjoying Constipation

Feedyoureye I know for me the sleeve was the only WLS procedure my gastroenterologist would support as it does not involve re-routing the intestine. It also allowed me to have a horrible hiatial hernia that my gastroenterologist wanted me to have repaired for the last couple of years, finally corrected. Be well
