SexySlim, I live in Landover, MD too!!! So exciting to find a neighbor on these site :) I will be sleeved on April 11 by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, Mexico. I would like to stay in contact with you. It would be nice to share our experiences and perhaps even do a workout together one day. Hope your recovery is going well.

Well I'm almost 6 feet tall, I think that's why mine is so long. And it would take A LOT of food to pack it LOL!

Well basically it is having the sleeve done all over again. I have been talking with a doctor in mexico about having it done and he suggested i might want to consider gastric bypass. I have never even thought about having the bypass done, not even at my heaviest weight. I have a low bmi since i lost a lot of weight with the lapband so im scared to do it but im slowly gaining back the weight. Have any of you known anyone with a low bmi get the gastric bypass????

Shaundra, if you have a sleeve that didn't work for you, have you considered the duodenal switch? It's usually the last resort if the sleeve doesn't work. I know you are already lower BMI but if you are going to have a surgery again, just be smart about it. The DS has a higher success of keeping the weight off long term over the gastric bypass. Please just discuss this with the surgeon as an option. The re-sleeve might work, I have no idea. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
