Diverticulitis, Blockage, and Large Intestine Removal - Still a sleeve candidate?

I was sleeved 7/22/16 and have had great success. My mom wants to get sleeved, but she's worried her medical history will make her ineligible. Obviously she needs to seek the opinions of qualified doctors, but I think if she heard that someone else had her issues and was successfully sleeved it would motivate her to move forward and make the appointment.

Anyone with diverticulitis end up having surgery to remove it (8 inches of large intestine was removed) and then get sleeved after?

I am an NP and I would doubt that removal of her large colon woukd effect the sleeve surgery. The sleeve insicions are far from the large colon. RNY maybe not...but sleeve should be okay. I would tell what I would tell any patients...you wont know until you consult.
