A member asked:
Can you tell me more about having vertical sleeve gastrectomy operation while having crohn's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleeve ; Crohn's : A sleeve is a better option than a gastric bypass for crohn's patients because the sleeve doesn't involve cutting the intestines. That said, you shouldn't have a sleeve done if you currently have a crohn's flare up.
