Hi there I'm Elaine 29 years old I had a gastric sleeve operation April 2014 I was 5,1 and weighed 16 stone I got down to 15 stone before weight loss stopped .. I never felt restriction like other people did I'm really scared of having the RNY I plan to retry BariatricPal surgery in 2017 Here's my sleeve I had first time the uk nhs said it was t done properly and healthier weight in Manchester backed this up after taking this x Ray Here it is I'd love to hear from people who had a re sleeve or revision in general Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sure, i would not reccomebd resleeve my first sleeve I lost next to nothing and even early out I was starving ... etc no chance of goal or anywhere near it which was 10 stone .. other sleepers blaked me not the fact my surgery was to blame (was too large) second sleeve I got to goal in 4 months .. 10 stone .. I'm now 7stone 9 .. feel unhealthy have constant IBS .. gas .. vomiting every other day .. it's a full time job to not lose weight I don't feel hunger and most food I detest now .. I was never fussy .. the protein bars and shakes make me sick now I can't tolerate even the thought of having one .. can't eat bread need soft foods to eat .. can still eat nuts and seeds ! Which is my saviour I hate meat! I regret it as I look amazing but feel like crap ! Being skinny doesn't make up for being exhausted and sick 99% the time !

Hi i was a resleeve first time no weightloss second I've overshot past goal .. it's far harder to live with

When I drink water I get pains like cramp down my left side I'm one year post op I've had nothing but issues from my surgery all year but I had it done private in poland (I'm uk) I've no aftercare ive had the diarhea excess wind severe bloating and a lot of pains in different areas since my surgery .. does anyone know why? I'm 2 stone under goal weight made goal in 4 months

It's common from what I've seen I got mine early I'm 21 dayspost op haven't lost since day 8

I'm 21 days out and have bad left shoulder pain daily gets worse after eating I had hernia repair also any tips on how to get rid of it?

That's good to know I was really starting to worry !! 20lbs a month is great ! Well done

Yeah me I lost 16lb then day 8 another 1lb then nothing since ..

Some people need to be more sensitive in there reply to this topic in my opinion we're not all perfect hence why we needed this surgery in first place Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I really feel for you and most people were in your situation pre op.. I would tell you what it's like but my surgery did t workout my inky advice would be too research your surgeon and go for the RNY not the sleeve Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
