I have had my gall ladder removed, small bowel obstruction surgery and I have had my appendix removed, today during a visit with the surgeon that is doing my VSG surgery h informed me that he needed to pull all of the records from those surgeries to read about them because I could have scar tissue that will affect my surgery. He said that doing it the laproscopic way would be best and has fewer complications but the scar tissue makes it difficult. Has anyone else had to deal with this?

I had gallbladder and two c-sections. One classic cut c-section and one bikini cut and I had my surgery this morning ????

I had gallbladder and a hernia surgery with mesh and I had my surgery 11 days ago! Everything went well!

I have had 3 c sections ( two horizontal & 1 vertical) and my gall bladder removed. My surgeon said it wouldn't be a problem.

Like others I had c section, gall bladder removed and a laprascopic tubal ligation and had no problems, my surgeon never looked at my old records. Then I had a Tummy tuck and all those old scars are gone for the most part LoL--traded them for one big long one

I met with my surgeon for the first time last Thursday. I was worried about the same thing! I've had my gallbladder removed and had a colostomy that left a huge scar down the middle of my stomach. My surgeon said that he didn't think this would be a problem. He said he believes he can still do my bypass laparoscopically but he won't truly know until I'm actually having the surgery.

I have had 2 c sections and a previous exploratory laparoscopy as well as endometriosis. I did get a warning from the nurse about how unpredictable scar tissue could be and that the doctor would not perform the surgery if it is unsafe when he got in there. Good luck!

I just got back from my first appointment with my surgeon. I am also really nervous about my scar tissue preventing my sleeve surgery. I've had the lap band, port removal, port replacement, and lap band removal done all laparoscopically. The surgeon said he won't know until he gets in there whether the scar tissue will be a problem. I will be so heartbroken if I'm woken up from surgery and didn't get my sleeve . Anyone with similar issues that ended well?
