Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Gastric Polyps

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 w

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 .
