Your sunglasses keep falling off your face because they are too loose! Never would have imagined!

NoMoreWeightNJ got a reaction from GreenTealael in 2.5 years out - Sleeve stretching / Weight gain? January 18, 2018

Thank you Sherrie, I'm sorry to hear of our similar struggle. I am thinking that the first step will be for me to talk with my doctor and stop ignoring the issue. I think I feel a lot of guilt and shame related to weight gain as if I am failing the process when all I'm doing is hurting myself with that attitude. I came to this site because it's the next best thing to an in person support group for me and wanted to be able to walk through the steps on how to get back on track. We all started in the same place and worked through the program step by step. Need to get back to holding myself accountable and just moving forward in a positive way from here on. But of course if anyone else has any methods that they recommend I would love to hear. I've heard of a kickstart diet for sleevers who are +1 year post op called the 5 and 2 or another called the 4 and 3, which is a modification of the original 5 and 2. I'll let you know what I find! Best of health to you

Never again did I think I'd weigh less than the cost of a gallon of gas this cheap. This morning I weighed in at 184!

Putting on my size 18 pants and realizing they are just not even going to stay up anymore, so then I grab a size 14 pants that I thought were 16s and said let's just see how far til I fit in them, and seeing that they fit NOW! Best day ever.

Got my sleeve done 15 months ago and here I sit in the hospital getting ready to have my gallbladder removed. I asked my surgeon if he did it when we initially had our consult and he said if you're not having issues then we leave it. I didn't know if I had any stones at the time but I know now that I do and that it's infected and needs to come out asap. I PRAY that I am not out of work long or that I don't have a difficult recovery. Prayers are welcome.

Great news! Glad it all went well and that you are feeling better

Had my gallbladder taken out yesterday morning at 9am and can honestly say that this was way easier than the sleeve as far as recovery from the surgery itself. I was up walking around 4 hours after surgery and discharged by 630pm. I'm home and feeling better already. I'm so glad it went smooth. Thanks for the help!

Good luck with the gall bladder removal! For me it was no more pain or worries when the next attack would come, how bad the pain would be and how long would the attack last.
I was told to be careful with fatty meals post op. And later on I did not notice any changes in my digestion, and no malabsorption.
I had frequent diarrhoea, but this was due to my Graves/Hyper-thyroid disease.
Some people have reactions to heavy/fatty meals after the cholecystectomy, I didn't.
My gall bladder was taken out 20 years ago, well before my WLS.
I hope you get more replies to your question.
Good luck, and get that sucker out!

I had my gall bladder removed 3 years ago. It was an outpatient surgery. The air inside my body from the surgery was the worst part, but subsided the first day. I took two weeks off of work but was fine after one week. Everyone is different, but I hope yours goes just as smoothly.

thanks everyone - I'm relieved to hear that when it is removed you found relief. I had my sleeve done a year and 3 months ago and have been having gallbladder attacks for 4 months now. I'm sitting in the hospital right now and found out it's infected and has to come out. I am really worried about malabsorption or frequent diarrhea issues. Have you all gone back to regular digestion after the surgery healed?
