I had the sleeve 7 years ago. I lost 90 lbs. I gained back 70. I have terrible Gerd. My surgeon told me a few years out that the sleeve did what it was supposed to do and i won't lose like weight again. I went to a new surgeon and he recommended a revision to bypass. I'm 6 days out. I hope to hell I can maintain this time.

Thanks! I just don't want that constant hunger.

Hi all. So I had my revision 4 days ago. A 45 -50 pound weight loss would be perfect but I am terrified of regain. I am so afraid I'll gain again. Is anyone out years from surgery and maintaining??

I am 4 days out from same procedure. I feel not so alone now.

Good luck with the surgery. Please keep me posted!! I hear the weight loss averages 40 lbs but is much easier to maintain.

I will be undergoing sleeve revision to roux en y. One because of reflux but more importantly for weight loss. I lost 90 lbs. 7 years ago with sleeve and gained back 65. How much should I expect to lose? I have a new surgeon who I like much better and he is more concerned with my health and I can already see their follow ups will be much better. I am not screwing this one up. SW 250 Lowest 159 CW 225 GW 185

I am scheduled for a revision in December. I am so encouraged by this. I have always been hungry. And I know my stomach empties fast. I pray that I lose the hungry feeling. Glad you're doing well.

I have asked this question before and didn't get many responses. I had the sleeve over 5 years ago. I lost 90#. I have gained back half over the past 2 years due to binge eating, prednisone, and the fact that my surgeon NEVER told me I would need to live on 1000 calories a day. When I went back to see him about 6 months ago he told me its too late and will not be able to lose weight anymore!!!!! I am really frustrated and struggling.

Thank you!!!

I am eating too much, but I'm always hungry and have gotten lazy and back into bad habits. I weigh 202 right now and would like to get down to 175. My sleeve has stretched.

I am 4.5 years out of sleeve. I lost 90# and regained 45# in the past year or so. I am hungry an hour after I eat no matter what. I can't seem to get on track and my surgeon told me that the sleeve did what it was supposed to do and I will probably not be able to lose weight again. Yes, he said that. I can't imagine trying to go on 800 cal a day this far out. HELP!!!!!

Tfarr, email me please. I want to share something with you. Emk101009@gmail.com.

I'm starting weight watchers and seeing a nutritionist Friday. I love sugar.

I am 4.5 years post SLEEEVE. I had lost a total of 90# and felt great. Over the past 1.5 years I had gained half of it back. RIght now I would be happy losing 25#. Part of the reason for the regain was that I wasn't getting enough Synthroid (I have no thyroid) and part is medication and part is I have no OFF button. I can do great all day and between 7-10 PM I can't stop, Another problem is that an hour after I eat, I'm hungry. Yes I am getting enough protein. I'm sick of regain and I'm sick of never feeling satisfied. Has anyone had experience with this and was able to lose?

I have gained 20 since sept. I am always hungry no matter what I eat. I feel like I'll never lose it again. I know what you're going through.
