I wanted to know if anyone has had Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass surgery after having pipeline flow diverter done. I was in the process last year for going for the Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I am 60lbs overweight last year. This year I am now 85lbs overweight and it is getting more and more difficult to excercise. I had the pipeline flow diverter put in last year to treat 2 anuerysms in my right internal carotid artery.
Two weeks ago I went for my yearly follow up. I go to see the neurosurgeon tomorrow for the results. I believe it all went well and both are gone. At least I think that is what they said after the procedure but I was still a little drugged up.
The bariatric doctor will not do the endoscopy if I am on aspirin.(currently on full dose).
I am having a lot of feelings about this. I just feel like I am ready for the weight loss surgery, have been wanting to do it for over a year, I have been patiently waiting for all of this aneurysm thing to be done with and now it all comes down to if I have to stay on asprin or not.
I know I should be grateful they found it, I was treated successfully, but part of me is so ready to move on and put this whole thing behind me. So I was just wondering if anyone here has experienced the struggle of weight loss surgery and dealing with aneurysm treatment and has it held you back from doing so. Any input would help.
