Hi, this is my first post. I wanted to post sooner but have a lot of post problems, was unsure what everyone would think of me. We'll here goes. Decided on the sleeve when my husband started to get worse with an incurable lung disorder and couldn't loose the weight myself an became diabetic. I wanted to be healthy to take care of him. The first couple of months were good until I started the mashed and solid foods. I began throwing up, and was nauseated all the time.My Dr. ran tests and all was fine, but couldn't keep food down and was always hungry. I did loose 31 pounds the first few month but after I started throwing up and cannot loose. One BIG problem is not knowing I am full until it is too late and up it comes. Now 9 months later it is better, but hungry all the time? Is it possible too have stretched my pouch this soon? After being sick all the time I ate a lot to feel full. I can,t believe how much I can eat! I eat lite at breakfast and dinner but at night I want to eat everything. I have not exercised until now so not burning calories. A lot of my problems is eating too fast or too much. I need your advice, did I go through this surgery only to fail? I last saw my surgeon three months ago and he told me, since I can hold liquids just stick to them. Is that my future? I was so disappointed I cancelled my next appt. and have not been back. Should I seek out another Dr.? I hope that someone can advise me? I don,t know if my stomach needs tightening, or am I doing something wrong? I don,t know if my insurance would cover another surgery, since my BMI is lower than accepted. I am sorry to ramble, but it has been a heck of a bad 9 months. If anyone can help in any way, PLEASE feel free. Than you, from the bottom of my heart or belly! Kathy
