Can vegans have gastric bypass surgery?

In: Surgery and Hospitalization, Veganism [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is possible. It is always up to a doctor to ultimately determine if a person is eligible for gastric bypass surgery or not, but the fact that a patient is a vegan (as long as they are still relatively healthy) should not be an affecting factor on the decision to have that type of surgery or not.
