Hi
Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I'm glad that found my post helpful. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Take care

How are you doing now. I am having the same issue with my fundus was not as small as it could have been and I'm regaining. How much have you loss and how do you feel as of today. I too have to pay out of pocket and was researching Dr. Illian I was excited to run into your page 😁😁😁

1st pic was taken in Tijuana at the beach 2 days after surgery 02/12/2017

2ND pic was taken last night 04/01@ 7 weeks 1 day post op

Hi All
Here's a brief update of my Sleeve to MGB progress. The before pic was taken in the hospital after my revision. I was 247 pounds then. The pic on the right was taken today. I weigh 187 pounds. I've lost 60 pounds since my surgery(02/10/17) and 66lbs since my pre-op diet. I think my weight loss is pretty good for a revision patient and I'm on track to finally reach my weight loss goal. I'm so happy that I got my sleeve revised!

I just was converted from the lapland to the sleeve on July 10th. I am doing well.
I don't know anything about a mini sleeve. I can already tell this sleeve operation was a great decision. I am already 10 lbs away from my goal weight because I kept the lapland and did not gain back. This is another adjustment, but not more sticking of food, indigestion, throwing up....much much better.
Now to get the Protein in and Water. It is a challenge right now.
Best to you on your upcoming surgery

My high weight was 269. I had the sleeve that cause my reflux to get worse and I could not lose any weight. Since The mini gastric bypass I am down to 163 my lowest weight since high school long ago. I fit into a size 10 business suit today and just about cried. They left photo was taken right before my revision surgery and the right one last week.

Here's the link to my testimony after my surgery.
Please read it. If you have any more questions let me. I'm down 64lbs total since my revision. My weight loss is much better than when I first got my sleeve in 2010. I plan on giving a detailed update next week around my 5month post op.

Great info. I started C25K approx. 4 months ago and petered out on it because I was trying to run faster than my 5'2" frame would carry me given the timeframe and the 30 minute 5k goal. I stopped the program, slowed myself down and started alternating sprint intervals with long runs. Once I slowed down, I could easily run for an hour at a time. Now I'm up to a 4mph long run pace and I can do 1 mile sprints in 13 minutes 16 seconds and getting faster everyday. I run 6 days a week in that alternating pattern which was suggested by my nutritionist. 1 hour runs on long days and 15 minute runs followed by 30 minutes of circuit training and concluding with another 15 minute run. On circuit days I do the first 15 minute in sprints and the second one, I just keep my butt moving for 15 minutes, time be damned.
I have seen very little change in the amount of weight I lose, but the cardiac benefits are already showing. My average resting heart rate is 53 and is considered very good for my age. My lung capacity has improved exponentially and in general I feel unstoppable.

I would also HIGHLY recommend watching the documentary From Fat to Finish Line if you haven't yet. It's on most of the streaming sites now, including iTunes to rent or buy. I watched that last year and it got me motivated to start interval running, and I have done a number of 5ks since then. After surgery, one of my big goals to work towards is to complete a 10k and then a half marathon

the mini has excellent results but has a risk of GERD. but then so does the sleeve.
if you happen to be one who doesn’t end up with bad reflux then you’ll be sound as a hound.

The majority of people who have had a gastric sleeve for longer than a couple of years (including me) will tell you that their stomachs have 'relaxed' enough to accommodate a significantly larger volume of food.
People are reluctant to use the word 'stretch,' but those early pre-op days of becoming full off 3 to 5 bites of food do not last very long for most sleevers.
I could eat no more than 3 ounces during the first couple of pre-op months. Now I'm 2.5 years out and can consume 8 to 10 ounces, depending on how soft or rigid the food is. In other words, my capacity has tripled.
It is up to me to not eat to my sleeve's capacity.....
