Best of luck to you. I really would like to know all about this. I’m considering the same thing. My vsg was done in 2015. I have since gained all my weight back. I’m currently on Ozempic. I’m taking it off slowly. But only 20 pounds lost so far. I inquired about the revision and am just nervous. Would love to hear all about it and what it intails as far as a hospital stay. Care afterwards and etc.

DS REVISION. Is this for me. Sorry spell correction was on. It’s been five years. I keep trying and can’t take the weight back off. I really need help.

Hello everyone. I had the sleeve done august 17 2015. I lost 70 pounds in the first year. Little by little my weight started to come back. Now I’m the same weight I was before doing the surgery. Would this da revision be an option for me? I really would appreciate any advice you could give. I need to get healthy again.

What is DS?

I am hoping someone would give me some info on it. I recently had an upper GI X-ray done. The dr is supposed to read it any day now. But I peaked at the X-ray while it was being taken and I can see that my stomach stretched. I have lost 9 pounds so far since September 23rd. I have been constantly staying active. I really would appreciate any feedback you can give me on the matter. I feel like a big disappointment lately. I feel it’s time to do ME. Now that the kids are grown and working.

Good morning everyone. I had my sleeve done August 2015. I lost 67 pounds and slowly have regained all the weight back. I believe my stomach stretched. Is it possible to be resleeved all over again? Will my insurance cover it? I have New York Medicare and Medicaid.

Yes. This is me exactly. I have to have my hormone levels tested. I am 48 years old. Going through periomenopause. I def have to look into this. I’m so very happy you brought this up. Thank you for sharing. Love the topic. I had surgery four years ago. And now I’m back to where I was before the surgery. I always kept my diet and exercise and make sure to eat my vitamins and get my protein and water in. I don’t know what else to do.

Hello everyone. I had my VSG surgery 8/17/15. My biggest weight was 227. Day of surgery I was 199. My one year surgery anniversary I was down to 153. I started stalling then. All of a sudden I started to gain the weight back. And now almost four years later, I weigh 213. I’m right back to where I was before surgery. I walk twice a day. Have a shake for breakfast and either a shake for lunch or chobani plain Greek yogurt. Dinner is a small meal. Just chicken with veggies or salad. Night time snack around 8 is a cup of popcorn. That’s all. I’m trying to get my water in. For some reason I cannot get the weight back down. I wish there was something else I can do. Is there such a thing as a second SLEEVE? I need all the advice I can get. Thank you so much for listening to my story. Please help. I’ve been to the nut and she tells me I’m doing everything right. I spoke to my surgeon and he says the same. I see him again in August and I really don’t know what else to do.

Walk as much as possible. It will help with the nausea. I walked all around the hospital. Every twenty minutes. It makes you strong. Good luck to you.

Thank you fristr8. I’m doing this in 20 pound intervals. I have will and determination. And most of all I have faith. I want to be healthy. Thank you for all the inspiration I get here. The support is much needed.

Three years after the surgery I have put on the weight. But thank goodness I’m coming back down. It’s a real struggle.

Was sleeved at 45. I’ve put some of the weight on. But I have been taking it off. It’s a struggle. I can’t tell you how hard it is to lose the weight. If you are doing the surgery now. Watch your wright. Don’t let it get out of hand and exercise daily. I lost the interest in exercising daily and did it once or twice a week. So I gained weight. Now I exercise daily every morning and watch what I eat. No carbs. Get my water and protein in daily. Good luck everyone.

I really must say. You look amazing and very happy. Never stop smiling. You lost the weight quickly probably because your breast feeding. I had the surgery two years ago. I was down to 155 after the first year from 227. Now I’m 193. I have been skipping on the daily exercising daily. Only exercise now three days a week. But I have to get back into it. I want to lose the weight back. I too was snacking on cookies from time to time. I have stopped all that now and I’m on a pure protein fix now. Every time I snack it’s on protein. I know I can do this. And now I definitely want to. Thank you for the encouragement. Seeing you and everything you have accomplished makes me want to get back into it. You really look amazing and have a beautiful baby to show for it. Congratulations.

This is a great forum. I really am getting some good advice here. Just want to say thank you. I probably do not get enough protein in my diet and have been looking to increase it. Thanks again for all the great pointers.

I told my family. Most of my family is overweight and has diabetes. I told them to tell them they have a choice to make their lives healthier. They all told me how much better and healthier I look. They really don't want to make the change and give up their love for food and alcohol. That is their choice. I have done this for me. I want to live a healthier lifestyle to me a role model for my two children. My daughter is 26 and my son is 20. They are so very proud of me. I guess it depends. I have always had a huge family and we have always gotten along well and loved each other. I thank god for my moms support as well. I just wish my dad would get the surgery. But he won't make the lifestyle change. I am so glad I have made that change.
