aceves_soon

i am also a failure i guess, if we can call ourselves that. my surgery date was similar to yours and now i gained back 60 pounds in 4 months i was supposed to be resleeved a month ago, i rescheduled for private reasons to september 16th, getting resleeved with dr aceves.

i am 2 years out myself. like the others have mentioned it is a tool that you have to be commited to. but some of us, our bodie will fail them, like mine. my restriction stopped a year post VSG and then on, it was my job to restrict myself from eating and doing all the excercises possible etc. however my body works in a weird way. when i dont eat at all i lose wieght very fast, then as soon as i put anything in my mouth i start gaining. so now since im gaining weight i decided to get resleeved and im doing it next month with dr aceves. i dieted for a year and my body will not lose or maintain the low weight unless nothing enters my stomache! its soo weird. i did eat healthy, i did excercise i did everything to the letter, but my body failed me again.

mid 2010, only the first few months, i think it was swelling not restriction

i dunno, but my stomache has no restriction whatsoever

mine stretched alot too. im getting resleeved next month :-(

good luck

thanks for sharing, it makes me a little bit less nervous to know that they had it with dr aceves. im glad they didnt have any problems. i will update on here how it goes with me :-)

not on here dear, on another web site called makemeheal.com

this is normal trust me it will get better. your stomach is healing an still swollen, your new stomach is trying to adapt to the new anatomy and all of the other body functions are readapting to the new addition to their family per se hehehe. healing requires alot of hydration and since you already cant enough liquids and other things into the stomach the body will try to hydrate itself from inside causing dehydration. just hang in there and try your best, you will love it after 2 to 3 months or maybe less.

hey! yes im sure you are in very good hands, ive researched alot and hes the best revision doctors around. i am having my lift with the best body contouring surgeons in Mexico :-) Dra, carmina cardenas. to give you an idea of her prices, a butt lift with an open wing incision and a groin incision thighlift with lipo and ft grafting to butt and hips costs 5000USd with an overnight stay at the hospital. she great and shes known as the seamstress for her unbelievably almost invisible scar lines. you can look up her reviews on makemeheal dot com under the butt lift forum

i had my sleeve in mid 2010 and lost alo of wieght since i wasnt eating anything. i was literally living on very low calorie liquids, because of the very restrictive nature of my sleeve and the pain i got when i ate. three months ago all of a sudden my sleeve is able to accomodate any type of food in any ammount at any time, i also have hunger pains back and i can eat and eat and eat its soo weird, i only eat healthy food, no bad carbs and very low good carbs, lots of veggies and good Protein (soy, i dont eat meat) and stuff like that, i dont eat sugar or drink sugary stuff often. i started gaining back weight by the day its very frustrating, its like i wont stay thin unless i starve myself and as soon as i put anything, anything in my mouth i gain 20 pounds over night. i contacted dr aceves and nina sent me the questionaires and found it really weird that my sleeve can carry that much food. she detemined how much food i can eat by asking how much i can eat on a course of a full day and she was shocked. since i am not from usa or canada or Mexico, im from kuwait, she said that dr aceves has no info on how they perform sleeves here and he needs to see me, he agreed to resleeve but only after seeing me and examining me. i told her i will be in Tijuana in july for my butt lift as a result of my weight loss and it would be nice if i can do my resleeve after my butt lift since its a very long long long flight from kuwait to mexico, now shes just trying to see how she can convince dr aceves to do my resleeve after my buttlift.
