    Regret.......... you probably came here to hear about how I regret my sleeve surgery. But it's the opposite I'm madly in love with my sleeve (my banana belly) I always read on here why people hate it, but I never read about how people are embraced by the surgery. It has made me a completely different person than who I was 6 months ago. I'm confident, successful, and beautiful. Don't get my wrong I went threw ups and downs pre op, and post op. But at the end of the day I'm almost 100 pounds down, I look back at myself last year around this time and hate the person I see. If you went threw this surgery, and are having any regret.. don't... it's a beautiful thing that a smart surgeon did for you, he/she believed in your health and weight loss. There is going to be ups and downs, stalls, and tears( in my case panic attacks). But when you wake up one morning and you weigh yourself and your almost 100 pounds down from your start weight you will not regret. You will embrace.

    Have a lovely day.

    Well, obviously, if your eating the very things that made you gain in the first place, then that might be the issue. But, if not, you may not be eating enough too. Sometimes you have to kick your metabolism is gear with a few added calories. Our bodies are not made to sustain a very low caloric diet forever. Please get with your nutritionist on what's good for you. I've read countless posts about people stalling and their nuts telling them to eat more, what do ya know...they start losing again. I hope you find that right balance hon. Blessings to you on your journey!!!

    I've actually talked to my nutritionist and she told me to eat more calories, and I've broke my stall this morning!! Hopefully it keeps moving in the right direction. I was just getting upset because I've been following my diet plan to the max. Thank you tho for all the kind words!

    I am feeling the same as you. I'm at a stall. I am following my NUT plan to the T. But I realized that earlier on I was losing weight daily because I was eating a lot less and healing my tummy. Now that I'm on a regular diet, I'm not losing weight. I track everything in myfitnesspal and my NUT is my friend on it too. That helps track what I eat. I'm so worried too about stretching it.


    Thanks Nancy

    I feel the same my worst fear is stretching it back out. I worked so hard to get my banana belly (my sleeve) that it makes me almost sick that there is a way to ruin it

    The drain is more for the bypass surgery and not the sleeve. The bypass has a lit more going in inside. Very few sleevers will need a drain tube and I did not wake up with one!! Good luck!

    It honestly just depends on the surgeon (he puts them in every patient to monitor leaks), after all I Learned about the drain tube I was very happy they put one in after my sleeve surgery. It's another way to help with infections and also it helps to see if there is any leaks after surgery due to the color what comes out into the ball.

    I had surgery on Dec 19 2016. After surgery I had a drain, it was only in until the day of discharge. If you wake up with one don't freak out. It doesn't hurt, I honestly didn't feel no pain with it even when I was walking around/sleeping. There was only one time that it had little pressure around the site of the drain and that's when I was moving around in the uncomfortable hospital bed lol! Then when the surgeons PA pulled it out the day of discharge it just.. didn't hurt... wasn't any pressure..... just felt very awkward (because it's moving threw your stomach). But it was out so fast, only took a second or two. Hope all goes well with your surgery! Don't forget to get out of bed ASAP after surgery (helps with gas, and nausea) and when you can finally get your Water (I didn't get any until the next night after surgery) make sure you SIP, SIP, SIP.
