My friend experienced almost the exact same thing as you and also had a bend in her sleeve because of scar tissue and the way she healed. Her surgeon was able to go in, cut the scar tissue away, and re-tack her stomach down to the surrounding tissue and when she woke up she said even through the surgical pain she felt so much better. It was that fast. Now she's at her goal, eats whatever she wants (within reason of course!) and just generally feels great. I so hope you are able to have a similar experience!!

Vampsy, I think you should tell the surgeon about Bedhead's post, maybe even print it out and take it with you so they will at least consider the repair instead of the revision. I do hope they will be able to repair the problem. God bless...Kathe

ok... Here it goes... I just really need to vent. Having major regrets. I know I may get bashed for this. But it's ok. I have no where else to vent. It may all be sunshine and rainbows for everybody else' date=' but for me, it's been hell. At nine weeks out, I still can't tolerate solid food. I'm upset and jealous that I can't eat. I'm sick of Protein shakes, Soup, and yogurt. Yes, I have lost weight but who wouldn't on a liquid diet for this long along with vomiting??? Now I'm going in tomorrow for another endoscopy to find out what the issue is. My Dr is very concerned but I'm ready to give up. I am hating life. I so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I honestly wish I could rewind time and get my tummy back.[/quote']

Thanks for being honest. It gives a balances opinion of the surgery. You know I am still going to have it. You know what they say about things being to good to be true. Honestly at this point i would sell my soul to be normal. hope your doctor is able to figure out the issue and fix it pronto. Sending some positive energy your way.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
