Gastric Sleeve with J-Pouch?

I just got new insurance so I went to a new primary care doc for a physical.  I have been struggling with my weight for quite some time now.  I have uncontrollable cravings, and I asked him about some weight loss medications.  He suggested that I consider the gastric sleeve, but he wasn't sure if I'd be a candidate considering I have a j-pouch.  He did some blood work and said I will see him in 2 weeks and we will "come up with a plan".

I have a friend who had the gastric sleeve and she has had amazing success with it.  

Does anyone know if having a j-pouch would prevent or cause problems with me getting that type of procedure done?
