Hello, I had gastric sleeve when I was 18 years old and lost over 100lbs but gained all the weight back since. I am now 24 and had a re-sleeve done on October 17th (17 days ago). I have been exercising daily and following my surgeons guidelines very strictly, including my vitamins and hydration. I have only lost about 6lbs the last 17 days since surgery (256lb day if surgery, now fluctuating between 250 and 248). Everything I have read says people usually lose 5-15lbs their first month(which I did my first gastric sleeve) but I do not find much about re-sleeves. My nurse practitioner said it is normal not to lose weight the first month while you're healing because your body is retaining water, but I simply do not believe that given my past experiences and what I read. Should I be worried my metabolism is completely messed up and I went through all of this again for nothing?
