I'm currently eating 12-1300 cals a day... I can eat about 1 Lean Cuisine serving size easily. I work out 5-6 times a week for at least 30 mins. Training currently for a 10K. I'm a wellness ambassador at work to keep me on point and accountable as well as helping others. I get 50-70g of protien/day... I'm following the bible I got from my surgery program in Hawaii from Kaiser. I don't eat bread, rice or Pasta at all. No sodas, very little caffine and a ton of Water daily. I keep a journal and am working with a dietician too. I'm 34 and was told I should have lost 85-99 lbs from the MD I saw here in NM. He threw a lot of #s at me to get to that amt but he'd expect this from his patient with my presentation of size. I would love to be under 200 lbs. I've lost this 50 lbs like 5 times in the last 5 yrs... I would love to hit 150-160 and would feel good I think. I just want to run! I want run Boston. I've run NY and Chicago full marathons at 230 and 250 lbs... It took almost 8 hrs to complete them and I need to be way faster to do Boston. That's one of my goals. I don't have goals of pant size or bikinis I want to DO things:)

Thanks for the responses... I was thinking the same thing! This says nothing. The one thing that stuck out is that it states "mild narrowing"... I would think that it would more than mild?? Either way I am healthy so that is a great thing:) I'm just continuing with the program and hope that I will lose again. I stopped at about 5 months our. I have been super frustrated but now that I finally can see somebody again I'm excited and thankful. If it's too big, yes the MD said he'd be open to a revision. Not sure I want that but I'm willing to look at it as an option. PS starting weight at time of surgery was about 260 lbs?

I just got the call from the new bariatric surgeon's nurse! My sleeve IS too big and will require a revision if I wish to do so! So I'm meeting with the dietician to stay on point and from there we will have a follow up appt to discuss next steps! Again thank you all for your kind words and support. I'm working on getting the surgical medical records for this DR to see now and I'll keep you all updated.

Didn't make the flight to Honolulu for followup. It was a mess. I was living in Kona and the main hospital and all the Specialists were in Honolulu. I had to fly back and forth, the day of my followup happened to be a busy day at the Kona airport and I was in the security line for over 3 hrs. Usually it takes 5 mins to get through but this day was just not a good one. I was scheduled for the next flight but the Dr's office said they couldn't see me even if I got there. So I tried to reschedule and got a ton of run around. It was Aug when I moved back here to NM aka the mainland. The whole system in Hawaii was really fustrating with communication since we were on different islands... I had the people in my local support group and no complications thank God, so I just went with it. It wasn't until now that I'm a yr out almost and my fellow gastric surgery companions are posting thier weight loss pics and such that I'm feeling really left behind. So I found our Dr here at the hospital where I work and thank goodness he agreed to take me on. Really I feel so much better now that I have a MD! lol Thank you all for your repsonses and supportive comments! I'll keep you informed! Lots of great info! I do not eat Lean Cuisines lol btw, I have eaten them in the past and when using a reference for potions I can eat that was the first that came to mind.

@@SOPHIAAGETTYS80 Shortly after I posted, you wrote, " I'm currently eating 12-1300 cals a day... I can eat about 1 Lean Cuisine serving size easily."
As you await your records, see if your doctor would advise you to cut your calories back a bit, maybe to 1,000-1,200.
And, clarification, please: Are you actually eating a Lean Cuisine [daily/regularly], or did you mention that to give us an eyeball idea of the volume of food you can eat? As I read it, you didn't really say you "eat" a Lean Cuisine, you referenced the serving "size," which might have been for our benefit to comprehend your food volume capability. [??]
As you await your surgical records, check with your current team re: maybe cutting your calories back to 1,000-1,200; and if you are actually eating a lot of Lean Cuisines...maybe don't. Some don't do well with processed foods. Natural and fresh is much better, and better for us all. [Ex: I can't do Splenda. It blocks my weight loss, so early on, I had to stop the early-phase Protein products/drinks, etc.]

I agree with everyone else about the mild narrowing. I think the doctor didn't completely sleeve you. The follow-up doctor will be able to tell you more. Why did you not have a follow-up appointment?

You can't tell from that. It pretty much says you have narrowing of your mid stomach from the sleeve, it's doesn't say the amount of narrowing ..looks like you will have to wait on the dr who has your x-rays and can compare the size to a normal stomach. That report pretty much says everything is normal but nothing in regards to the actual size of your stomach besides "Mild circumferential narrowing of the mid body". That's not saying much.

I don't know what all that means but I think the good news is there is nothing acutely wrong.If the sleeve is too big will they modify it surgically? Hang in there and I hope you get answers soon.
