Bowel Resection

Hello Everyone,

I had a bowel resection approximately ten years ago. A foot of my bowel was removed, does anyone out there know if I can still have a Gastric Bypass?

Thank You,

    Hello, I had a bowel resection myself. I went in to my consult certain I wanted the bypass and after the consult the surgeon helped me decide that for my situation the sleeve was a better fit. My surgeon said the resection did not take the bypass off the table for me BUT due to the number of issues I have had in the past with diverticulitis and other abdominal surgeries he thought that it was best no leave them alone and do the sleeve.

    I couldn't be happier with the results!!

    Your surgeon will look at the portion of bowel that was removed and the reasons it was removed, those are the two big factors :)
