NOt familiar with this. HAve you asked your PCP or bariatric nurse team?

Yes, it is my mother who has Chrons, I do not and am having surgery on the 24 of July. But was wondering for my mother of other outcomes of Chrons. It appears to be quite rare that crowns is fully absorptive in the intestines, but hers is as she weighs close to 400. They are leaning toward the sleeve due to not wanting to mess with rerouting, but she is nervous she will not lose the weight if it is just restrictive. She is wanting the rny though. She has done her psych veal and just waiting for the date to be scheduled. She is dr rossi out of Peoria Illinois.

I can see where they wouldnt want to reroute. Doing the sleeve has close to the same weight loss outcomes as the bypass. It is actually better for her being that she wont have the dumping syndrome or even the other symtoms a rny give and it wont be so hard on the intestines. I had my first dumping syndrome saturday with apple juice it was painful and had me on the toilet most of the night. But then again everyone is different. Hope this helps!

Good luck with the surgery! I hope that day comes quickly for u!

Yes it does make sense, but she is nervous because she is wanting to lose 200 pounds, and the outcomes with the sleeve are much less the surgeon estimates her losing 60 lbs. she is wanting to malabsobtive as well as restrictive

Awww. i feel for her. ONly 60??? is that because the chrons? is she really decided on doing it? the pain she would go thru and only for 60 lbs?

Well at 400 lb and 47 year old she is wanting to take what's she can get and hopefully if she only gets the sleeve, it may jump start her weight loss Alzheimer's able to lose weight and motivated at the same time.

Thank you for the response.i will tell. Y mom there is hope after all she may get approved. I do not think it is her insurance wanting to not to do,I believe it is her surgeon not wanting the liability, does your friend have any helpful tips. I guess you just do not see people with Chrons having this surgery very often
