ive been reading about people having revisions and im wondering if i need it as well,i had sleeve surgery on 11-29-12 and as of today

82lbs is my total weight loss and its been that way for the last 6mos.it seems like i gain and lose the same 5 to 10lbs since may 2013

i started another exercise program a month ago and still nothing and the biggest thing is i can eat alot more than before for instance i can eat

a whole low carb Breakfast bowl from hardees with no problem.or a whole grilled chicken burrito(see picture) is that normal?but one bad habit i have developed is drinking after i eat other than that i dont know what to do.Is it possible for your stomach to stretch?i was even thinking about trying to get an xray of my stomach to see if my sleeve was done right

unfortunately i dont have a regular doctor because of ins.i had my surgery in tj mexico becaues of lack of insurance and was wondering if they used the right bogee,just looking for answer and hope that im still on the right track any and all help will be appreciated

well let me say this im in a stall so start pulling out your hair please!Your post made me come out of the shadows to tell you and others dont forget what things were like before wls or should i say 122lbs ago when you werent thinking about clean eating(congrats by the way)but for me i dont have a doctor i had to go out of the country and pay for this out of pocket so you darn right im going to be concerned when i see that my scale has moved up in the last three months,and its not fear for me its concern and the one thing i have to turn to is this forum to learn from others that have made it thru this.Because of this forum and other people who have hit stalls made it clear to me that i had to help my sleeve so i started drinking Protein shakes everyday for the last three weeks ive also incorperated walking every chance i get i started at two miles and now im at three miles,even if i get home at 11pm i go hit that track in the dark im just that determined ive also stopped drinking coffee and as we speak i havent had a cigarrette in seven days, dont get me wrong i am grateful for the 80lbs lost since 11-29-12 but i dont need to see a 4lb gain in the last three weeks and i do my best not to forget how i felt before surgey when i couldnt walk up my stairs without feeling like i was going to die or walk to the mailbox without my back hurting or when i couldnt bend over and tie my shoes,i remember taking a shower was a job becuase of all those hard to reach areas and look at me now walking three miles with no problem,or parking my riding mower and started using my push mower and let me not forget being able to feel my clothes bagging on me and being able to bend over and tie up my shoes so i need people on this forum to talk about things of all wls concern no matter how much its posted.even when im close to my goal weight i need to be more mindful when dealing with others who are struggling to get to where i am.I have a good friend thats complains about his weight everyday but still eats all the wrong foods that will only allow him to gain more and even thow i get tired of hearing his complaints and want to say to him "quit bitchin and do something about it" i dont i just remember that for the grace and mercy of God there goes i.So just think how many people are on this forum just like me that needs others to talk about there experiences with weight loss surgery good or bad. And again i didnt risk going to another country and putting my life on the line to gain weight hellllllllllll noooooooooo.

Well I'm 2days post op and I wish I could say their is no pain but I can't first and foremost if you are big all the way around like my self it would be good to let the doctor know to some how get your body to lay even on the operating table if not you will have terrible back pain like my self.my back hurts so bad I can't even tell if my stomach hurts.but over all dr.quiones and his staff was top shelf without question by me being so big I could feel every spring and rail in that hospital bed so the brought me back to the hotel to a real bed
