     I would pose that question to your kidney doctor- not just your bariatric surgeon.

    Topic: RE: WLS after cancer diagnosis?
     I had surgery after skin cancer diagnosis.  Obviously a totally different type- If you call your insurance perhaps they could tell you?  Seems like they could not deny it though unless you were found to not be able to qualify because of not making it through the preop testing.

     Hi Judy,

    Have you looked online to see if there is a forum dedicated to stomach cancer patients?  When I was first diagnosed with skin cancer I found cancerforums.net.  They were great about answering some questions, and that is where I found out about  a Mohs surgeon.  I don't know much about stomach cancer, just a partial gastrectomy (sleeve surgery).  Sending good karma your way!
