Question:
Can WLS be performed on someone who has ulcerative colitis?

Has anyone who has ulcerative colitis had gastric bypass or does anyone know if doctors will perform the surgery on patients with this illness?    — Jeanne R. (posted on February 19, 2001)

I asked a surgeon at an online website about this, and he said yes, depending on individual history, and so on. So there is considerable hope. Good luck! Jesse
