I have heard from some folks that you get a colonoscopy same day/time as the endoscopy. (2 birds with 1 stone) Any truth to that rumor? Not sure why a colonoscopy would be needed IMHO.

Debbie jean....youve had 2 sleeves done? Did you lose alot on your first gastric sleeve? Did your surgeon make that decision or did you. The reason I ask....I was so focused on having a full bypass..but the surgeon said a sleeve will be better incase I do want a treat...i kept saying but I dont want that option of wanting treats..But i cant change his mind and lost my control when I have fought so hard to get where I am now.

No, only one sleeve done 12/23. Second colonoscopy first done 5+ years ago. Sorry for the confusion.

I understand your concern about allowing the option of treats, though and know that is one of the challenges that I will face with the sleeve.
