peewee23.cc 0 Posted August 28, 2015 Hey all! I'm scheduled for my sleeve Sept 18th. I'm self pay because my weight is just under the bmi. I'm having the surgery done in hopes it will help with my colitis. As I have gotten older and had another child I'm having a hard time keeping my UC under control. The steroids keep packing the pounds on. Is there anyone else that is having this surgery for things other than weight loss? I know there are many health benefits for for this and the other bariatric surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
