Thank you Dianna and I hope you are enjoying your holiday season, too.
In my opinion I think you need to discuss this issue with your gastro doc.
I had type 2 diabetes from prednisone, too and gained almost 90 lbs. I bought a book from the American Diabetes Assn. and in about a year lost 60 lbs. It can be controlled with diet and medicine.
I have two friends whose daughters have died from their gastric bypass. And another whose daughter developed seizures. I think you are asking for trouble.
An ileostomy already reduces the amount of nutrition you get and since you can not eat more than 1 ounce of food with a gastric bypass, your system will be greatly compromised.
Another issue I am dealing with, because of prednisone, is acute renal failure. This is because my adrenal gland no longer functions when my body is stressed.
This is a serious undertaking and you need to do research on this before taking such a drastic step.
Hugs, Sandy
