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

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

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).

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 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.

Welcome honey! How are you doing postop?

Hi: I'm Cindy , I live in so California I have been an lvn for 35 years and work in labor and delivery. I was sleeved on June 10th, and I've lost 35 lbs so far... I'm sooooo happy I made this decision. It's nice to give my clothes to goodwill knowing I will not return to that size again my scrubs at work are going down in size also thank goodness work pays for them ... Look forward to reading everyone's progress.

I was sleeved on 12th. Weighed in at 331 day if surgery n now weigh 282! Best thing I ever did for myself. Glad to see everyone doing so well
