Well im takeing this from a person that i knew from another gastric bypass
surgery board...
the surgeon did not do the gastric bypass.
WHICh was devastating.
I think people have to have fully healthy
colons.
A common complication that arises in many post ops
is bowl obstructions.....for various reasons.
SO i think they want the colon healthy enough
on a patient.
I think the cyrosis of the liver as seen on
BIG medicine...was a result of a VERY fatty
liver, and the gastric bypass surgery
will help cure a fatty liver....thus hopefully
prevent further liver damage so im sure
thats why they went ahead in that case.
BUT colon cancer could be completely
different thing, depending on how advanced
it was.....im thinkin in the person that i heard
this occur to it was very advanced colon cancer.

AGAIN im not a medical expert just something
i have read in my 3 years of being in the world
of bypass patients.
