So that means your stomach stretched back out with 50 pd gain? Or surgeon did it incorrectly? Scarrry! Glad you got your sleeve back.

No he said that I might have had some stretching from the pregnancy but that it probably was not done correctly.

I was just resleeved on Tuesday. It's possible!

How are things going for you? I am playing the waiting game of insurance approval.

Hello Hineydoll3 ... when are you scheduled for? Who's your surgeon? I'm in nj . Where you from. Hope u don't mind all the questions. I would love to be resleeve buddy's . I'm torn between the bypass and sleeve. Right now I've been approved to be resleeved and I see my dr on May 1rst to talk more about it . Scheduled for May 30th . I'm so scared as I can't find too many people with resleeves. Do you know what bougie was used on your original sleeve? I'm so happy you wrote me. PLEase keep in touch.

I'm waiting to hear back from the insurance. All they required was one neutrino class and a psych eval for the revision. I'm from Texas and Dr John Pilcher will be performing my revision. He has also given me the choice between resleeving and rny. I'm not too sure what to do. What is a bougie?

Hi everyone

I am 3 and a half years post op and I am able to eat alot and I am gaining weight. I lost 102lbs but I have 50-60lbs back on ???? I am wondering if anyone here has been resleeved?

If so how was your experience? I have been told I have a wide sleeve so it can be but I am nervous.

I'm in the process of getting resleeved just waiting on approval from insurance. I had an endoscopy and my sleeve has stretched.

Hi whats your progress so far? I am in the insurance verification stages for being resleeved.

I myself and in the process of being resleeved. My stomach has stretched to what looks like a a small normal stomach. Let me know what you find out. Or if you want to be resleeved buddies.

I had my original sleeve done June/2013. I lost 90 pounds and I gave birth to my baby girl Oct/2015 I have since gained 50 pounds back total. I went back to my initial surgeon's office and was seen by his PA. I spoke to him about how I wasn't feeling very much restriction and that after doing the 5 day pouch test it was not any better. His solution was phentermine. I followed it and I lost maybe 5-7 pounds but regained as soon as I stopped taking them. I have since spoken with a new bariatric group and the physician is wonderful, he has had me do an upper GI which has allowed him to see that I no longer have a "sleeve". This would explain the feeling of no restriction. He has advised that he would recommend either resleeving me or converting me to RNY.

Has anyone been resleeved? What have your results been like? I am not too fond of the idea of RNY for malnutrition/malabsorption issues that I have seen friends dealing with.

Hi Everyone!

I had a healthy babygirl in October. I have been breastfeeding and I have gained so much weight POST PARTUM. During my pregnancy I only gained 11 pounds (baby was nearly 6) so really only 5 pounds I was back to prepregnancy weight 5 days after being discharged from the hospiatal. I have since gained 15 pounds. My question is has anyone had a sleeve revision post partum? I am looking for real expectiations before I make an appointment with a surgeon. I am near the end of my breastfeeding journey (not by choice).

Hi Ladies!

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant. I have gained 11 pounds (4.5 of which are baby). Im so glad to read that many of you felt restriction again after birth. I constantly hungry and Ive been so worried about it. I plan on breastfeeding, this is my first baby so I hope that helps with the weight loss.

Thank you TB

I will continue to eat right and workout.

I'm down 65. Started at 230 5' 3.5". Now at 165. I want to get to 130. There is a June 2013 Sleeve Facebook page. Send me you email address and I'll have the group creator send you an invite.

I'll take an invite as well!

I believe my FB email is arcastil@uiwtx.edu

And well I just graduated college....I really fell off the weightloss wagon this past semester and so I haven't lost any weight since the beginning of January. I'm stuck at -70 pounds I know by now everyone else has lost over 110 but I haven't and my lack of dedication and letting school consume my life got the better of me. I've been working out since graduation but have not lost any weight.

Has anyone else gone through this and how did you get back on the wagon? My surgeon didn't set a goal for me by my one year and I hear from everyone that they meet with their dietitians regularly...mine hasn't contacted me since my post op appointment.

I use the NuvaRing and I love it....I started it like 2 months before I had surgery. Now every month my period is like clockwork. I start the first tuesday of the month around 12pm and I finish on the first friday around 6pm. Its amazing and I recommend it.

mine dropped off around three months...but my Vitamin levels were low.....now its like I can't get enough even my stamina has increased...you just have to give your body time....believe me you'll make up for it

I had always wanted to do it before...and now that I am so confident in myself and with my honey I went and did it friday....I love this new found confidence I have in myself....

I wish I would have done it sooner.

I'm from Waxahachie Tx getting sleeved tomorrow by Dr Kim....

Really?

How do you say that? I've passed through a couple times and I have no clue how to say it

I am a nursing student. As a future nurse I felt that it would be hypocritical to be over weight while trying to help my patients live healthier lives.

Plus all the work conditions really wear down the body I don't wanna be in my late 30s early 40s not able to function as well as I need to because of the added weight.

I'm 27 I'm 238 pounds with a bmi of 40 my family doesn't really get it because my mom lost weight and kept it off with slim for life and my brother lost and keeps it off with herbalife. The only support I feel I get is from my aunt who had bypass done. I want them to know that it's not the easy way out at all and my dr told me to invite them to visits and support groups before surgery. It's just making me rethink my decision.

It's not the easy way out no one but fellow VSGer know that. No one else understands the physical and mental changes we have to go through. Those diets don't work for everyone. You'll always have a supportive family here.
