The sleeve DOES indeed stretch! But the sleeve has not been around long enough to develop a steady study on the stretching capacity. This will most like take another 20 years before they post the ACTUAL capacity of the stretching of the sleeve.

Drs only inform you on what they know based on recent studies. This will most likely need a long term study

I am losing my mind. I can't go any longer with broth' date=' Jello, Water and juice. Thursday will be week 1 post-op and I won't see my surgeon until the 5/29. I am so hungry my stomach makes these loud embarrassing noise. Please help!!!!(pulling my hair out)[/quote']

Check the website there are several substitutions foods and alternatives during the liquid diet stage. The more variety you have the better you will feel. Trust me

So ive noticed that if I get up too quick I get extremely dizzy for a few seconds..WHAT'S GOING ON???

Probably dehydrated... Do you get dizzy and lose a lil vision like you see a whole bunch of white flares?

If they did 2 cup capacity at 1 year out' date=' I would be on board. It seems the push is for 1 cup max now. That makes me not so on board.[/quote']

If u want to keep your large stomach by all means I think the band is your best bet.

Good to kno thx

It's usually 85% of the stomach for this surgery

After how far long after surgery can I eat this? I will make 3 weeks this Tuesday

Solid stage usually week 4 is best

I was sleeved on 12/15/2012 and still looking for variety in foods. I have a hard time getting my Protein in because I don't like Protein shakes/drinks. FYI ...I think they were like 9 for 8 patties.

You were sleeved when now?

I had my surgery on May3. Had a hital hernia repaired' date=' lapband removed, and my sleeve done. Surgery went well. Went in for my swallow test all was good a little bit swollen but no leaks.

Unable to hold down fluids they ended up keeping me an extra day in the hospital. I came home still not able to hold dow much Fluid no matter how little I sipped how long I left in between times I always managed to throw up. I went back to the doctor on Monday and he sent me for IV fluids, well no luck with that either. I had to go back to the doctor on Wednesday and he put me in the hopital and hooked me back up to IV fluids. Two days ago they put in a picc line and are feeding me through this picc line. Tomorrow they will be going down my throat with a camera to see if they can see any thing else wrong.

I am getting so depressed. They did bring me some oatmeal this morning for Breakfast ohhhhh yummy. gonna pray it goes down and stays down.

Please keep me in your prayers that i will be out of here soon. : )[/quote']

You will always be in out prayers, you don't even have to ask. I wish you a speedy recovery on the losers bench!

I had my surgery late April and like you I have also returned to the hospital but for a different reason. I recently felt extremely bloated in the abdomen section after eating or sipping and even with time this feeling never subsided. So I rushed myself to my dr office where I've been since LAST saturday. After so many tests, they began to narrow the problem down to blood clots in my abdomen area.

Even though I've been here a week I managed to stay confident that this minor inconvenience would only be temporary and never permanent because the human body is a beautiful thing! So I will need you to feel the same. Stay positive at all cost because confidence also helps during recovery mode. It will ALWAYS be mind over matter.

Omg goodness' date=' glad they found out before they got any futher! Where did you have the sugery? Glad to hear you are feeling better! I am so nervous, and excited i think! Lol[/quote']

Im far from feeling better but im happy they caught the underling problem. I had surgery at NY METHODIST hospital

Hey Jimmy' date=' how are you feeling? Did they find out what the problem was? I was worried about you![/quote']

Not yet but they think I have a predisposition for blood clotting... They said I had a lot of blood clots in my abdomen so they put be on blood thinners for 3-6 months

My dr woke me up as soon as the got to the recovery room

Gluck!

Jimmy' date=' man I'm really sorry to hear that bro. Had no idea. Wishing you well and we'll keep you in our prayer here at the Patin house. God's Speed Bro![/quote']

Thx bro

I brought a girdle type thingy that does the same... It's for therapeutic rehab

I'm still in the hospital officially 8 days now. I have no appetite at all, no source of hunger, jus minor cravings that fade away with the commercial. I feel on a scale from 1-10 physically: 7, mentally: 5, and emotionally: 5...

Dr said I have blood clots in my abdomen. He put me in blood thinners for 3-6months.

Currently on the mushy stage but I don't know what to eat at all

Bananas make me naseau...

Day 6 in the hospital and I think I'm getting better but the dr won't release me until I'm 100%

SOOOOO glad to hear that you are ok. I mean you are still not 100% but that you are ok enough to give us an update hope everything resolves soon and that you are feeling 100% soon. As far as your job' date=' hope this doesn't affect it and that they understand. Good luck!!![/quote']

Thx liana... The drs don't Actually know what's causing my pain do right now they are indeed. Practicing medicine until an answer pops up...

Anyone else think that this sounds fishy? Especially if he was in fact online recently changing his name? I can't be the only one!?!!?

And im s orry but there's nothing fishy goin on. The only reason why I was probably showing up online is because this website is my homepage on my CPU at home. So anyone who uses my CPU always jumps to this page first.

Plus I changed my name from JimmyGotSOUL to JimmyGotSLEEVED last week

Apologies again for the unnecessary stress

Sorry to get everyone all worried but I dropped iPhone on in the toilet bowl while vommiting. I am currently still in the hospital. My Dr thinks I have deep vein thrombosis in my abdomen area. They put me in the critical care unit after I threw up and decided to continue monitoring me.

The ab pain subside slightly but have severally limited my moved due to the pain I receive in response. Dr decided to keep me on a full liquid diet ... I havent passed any gas since Sunday but my bowel movement are functionaling. Not at it's best but it's getting there according the dr. They checked me several times for stool sampled to to ensure that I was not bleeding in my stool.,

They put me on more blood thinners and I actually went in today for ultrasound. No blood clots in my legs, not all arteries and traffic ways were found in my abdomen during the vascular ultrasound.

Currently I'm in bed. Will be missing a whole week of work may even get fired for being a liability. Iono I don't care my health is more important right now. Jobs come and go.

I just wanna tell everyone thank you for the prayers, hugs and especially the warm wishes of recovery. I was pretty shocked to see this thread branch out like it did so I do appreciate the love from each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart

I would have updated my situation but I had to wait for my cousin to get me a new phone from bestbuy. Which was very difficult since bestbuy wanted me to be there physically in person despite my condition.

Had to do a second cat scan because they said they think they saw something serious in the imaging. now that has me a lil worried...

Jus finished the cat scan... Dr decided to admit me in for the night to keep an eye on me. Cat scan results are not in as of yet either...

The dr plans to have me on nexium for 2 months. Jimmy did the dr put you in anything for the reflux?
