Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Gastric Polyps



Recommended Posts

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 with your journey!!

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 .

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
