Has anyone tried to get the gastric sleeve and doc couldn't do it because of scar tissue from previous surgeries? My surgery is scheduled for Monday. I just watched my 600 pound life and doc couldn't do it because of the scar tissue!! My doc said it might be an issue but won't know until he's in there. I've had a nephrectomy due to cancer and hysterectomy!

I spoke to the Nurse Practitioner at my program who had spoken to the surgeon. His response was that it may be that I will need an open procedure but otherwise he doesn't see my mesh or previous surgeries as an obstacle to the VSG. However, I guess that I won't know, for sure, until he looks inside. <sigh>

I hope everything works out...

Do you have a surgery date?
