Ileostomy and gastric bypss/lap band   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3270 of 3461 |
Hello All!

I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season.

I'd like to know if anyone here with an ileostomy has experience with
gastric bypass or the lap band. I have been struggling with my weight
for many years, mostly since I gained 100 pounds when taking
Prednisone before my surgery.

I was just diagnosed with controlled Type 2 Diabetes and would like to
look into the weight loss surgery but just wonder how safe that would
be alongside having an ileostomy.

Any comments you have are very appreciated.

Dianna
