Crohn's disease

Just wondering if anyone has had the sleeve done and had crohn's disease? Would love to know how you did.

I have celiac disease and my doctor said the only surgery he would do was the sleeve because it does not mess with my intestines. Hope it helps!

My Dr. Said the same ????

I have a history of Crohns - dxed when I was 8. I had one doctor say he wouldn't touch me. I went to another, and she was baffled by that. She said she's done surgeries on patients with Crohns before. She specifically mentioned Rny, but I'm doing sleeve later this month.

I understand the fear. That has been my biggest terror (not fear, absolute terror). But I have spoken to multiple doctors, everyone who had to do a clearance lol and no one has the slightest concern. My PCP actually anticipates it will alleviate a lot of the current symptoms I have as I lose weight. Again though, mine has not been active for a long time, more like serious gastritis at this stage.

Hope this helps!
