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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
