Great info everyone! I have my revision from VSG to MGB on 1Nov and would love to get any advise y’all might have.

I’m 1 November! I’m a revision from VSG. I’m super excited to meet everyone!!🤗

The comeback is always greater then the setback

Agreed. I can eat more and have to always stay on top of it. Which is very boring I get tired of staying on top of it. I have just learned a lot as I too never understood losing the restriction. I
I noticed I do not have the same support in my community as I did 3+ years ago as though I have received an exorcism of sorts.

I can eat more too. My Dr said it was because my sleeve was healed and I have become less sensitive to the restriction. For the first 18 months I could not eat more then 1 oz of steak now I can eat 4 ozs.

What about the CBD oil (I think that’s what it’s called)? Would that work but not have any unpleasant possible side affects?

Really, Tracy too! That’s too crazy[emoji6]. Yeah, I was at the same point with the Protonics, I told the Bariatric Dr I was fed up and we needed to figure it out. That’s when he did the GI to check my sleeve and found the hiatal hernia. He said it was definitely the cause of my pain, it’s pretty big.

When are you going to back to the Dr?

Did they check your gallbladder? Your symptoms could be that. Mine were similar, I had an upper GI (barium swallow) and it turned out to be a hiatal hernia. I’m getting it repaired in 3 weeks.
Good luck and get your protonix filled it helps sooo much!

I’m here to tell ya, stretching your sleeve is not a thing. I gained and ate like a crazy women when I was pregnant. The Dr did an upper GI on me last week. You guessed it! The sleeve is the same size it was 3 months after surgery....however, I did manager to develop a nice size hiatal hernia from eating so poorly.
I’m getting my life together now, nutritionists is a big help. I’m 4.5 years out.

Marychelly_dumm1 I sent you a request!

Y'all can add me Tracie_woolley if you like

My surgeon and nutritionist are having me take Target store brand children's chewables twice a day to save money.

Same here I get the ones with Iron.

Hey everyone! I was sleeved on July 16th. So far I am down about 40 lbs. I am now able to eat just about anything as long as I chew it well. I too can eat chicken really about any meat. Tomato Soup is definitely a good way to shake it up' date=' my NUT said any cream Soup made with milk not Water is fine. Question for you all...is anyone still having pain around the incision where your stomach was removed?[/quote']

OMG! I was sleeved on the 30th and one of my incisions is really sore. My Dr said it is because that incision is anchored to the one across for it....awkward...no clue that was some thing that happens LOL!

Today I added some PB2 powder to my chocolate Protein Shake and WOW! It was super yummy! If any of you have a sweet tooth you must try it.

I'm having my revision surgery (from Realize band to sleeve) on 30 July! How's everyone doing?
