@MaddiesMomma @Feelinghopefulnow How exciting to have TWO surgery sisters! Although I'm only required to do 1 week low fat prior to surgery, I'm opting for 2 weeks to support my daughter who is getting sleeved next week. Next week I'll make sure to do even better than this week and then I have only 3 days of full liquids before surgery, not bad. I'm much more chatty on facebook than here. If you prefer to keep in touch that way just send me a pm so we can link up! Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!!

I'm 5 years post sleeve with an original loss of 100 pounds and a regain of 50 pounds. I'm getting resleeved on 4/3 due to the regain. Very excited, can't wait! My pouch stretched back out and I have little restriction now. I'm ready for my second chance at this sleeve thing

Me too!!! I'm doing my liver shrink diet (low fat) this week and next then start liquids on 3-31. I'm a resleever! I was originally sleeved 9\2013 and lost 100 pounds. Got down to 199! I'm 5'7" and around 250# now and am getting resleeved on 4/3! I'm 43 years old and my daughter is getting sleeved next week!

I'm scheduled for 4/3!

I did a barium swallow to determine if my pouch had stretched out or not and it showed Yes! The amount of scar tissue created after sleeve #2 makes it impossible to stretch out again, according to my dr. Move never heard of this Dr. Wiener but I’ll look it up. My surgery is scheduled for April 3!!!

I was originally sleeved in 2013 and was approved through a new insurance company to be sleeved AGAIN this year! Sadly my sleeve failed due to several major life occurrences and it stretched back out to the point that I've gained back half of the 100 pounds I had originally lost post op. Maybe I failed my sleeve, not the other way around but I'm not here to be judged. My dad died, I got divorced (and it was UGLY), fought for custody of my son (and won!), moved 3 times and then finally bought a house, was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, got remarried and I had a heart attack all in the past 5 years!!! That being said, I'm ready to get resleeved but I've never met anyone who has done this. ANYONE??????? My only issue is the weight gain, I don't have GERD or any reflux issues or a hernia. I'm just fat again and can't lose it back.

Surgery date: 9-3-13 Day of surgery: 299 (size 26/28) Current weight: 207 (size 16) Total loss: 92 pounds Height: 5'7" Goal weight: 165

I'm 2 mos out, sleeved 9/3 and I've lost 59lbs. My favorite protein powder is not chocolate or vanilla but Syntrax Fuzzy Navel. I drink it everyday. Still looking for a good vanilla powder and I don't like pure protein shakes. I heard if you make your shakes the might before and keep them in the fridge overnight they aren't so gritty.

A conversation with my 3 year old nephew: Him: "What's that?" (As he jiggled my belly) Me: my tummy Him: why's it like that? Me: because I'm fat. Him: Why????? Me: .................. Uhhhhhhhh............ I think you could hear crickets chirping after that. I started thinking, well... That's the way God made me. But no it's not. That is the way I made myself. This is MY fault, not Gods. That was my straw. I hope to thank that nephew of mine someday when he is all grown up!!!

Same here! I resisted but wasn't even really tempted that much. I'll be glad when it's all gone (this weekend it's going in the trash) so I don't have to even think about it. Before I would had hidden pieces all over the house for "later." Victory!!!!!

No problems here. Never puked once! I'm nearly 2 months out and I've lost 56# hoping to lose 70 more. I love my sleeve!!!
