Are there any diseases/illnesses that could not be treated because you are sleeved?

Thank you, Kim! That is SO good to hear! Do you think RNY patients would be difficult to treat for cancer?

You're wlcome. I don't know as much about RNY, but it seems like it might be harder to maintain optimal nutrition during treatment because of malabsorption issues.  I would also ask the surgeon about whether the RNY pouch and intestinal rerouting would impair colonoscopy or upper GI diagnostics.

I remember a lady who did have a sleeve and cancer and her chemo went fine.  With chemo it's a chore to find ANY food you can eat.

The further out you get the more you can eat so it's a matter of food intake no problem.  I can only see FUTURE treatments as easier because you are no longer morbidly obese, etc.

If you bump into USAFWife/Tiffany around here, she had problems that would have been much, much bigger problems to treat had she had a different procedure than the sleeve. Some but I believe not all were pregnancy related.
        



    
Open yourself to possibility and possibility will present itself.
