I am hoping this video will post. If not, it is Slimmfast's latest video on YouTube. She had her surgery done by Dr. Kelly, but is now following up at a bariatric clinic in the states. She's 5 months out and has some good info. Thanks for reading!!

Wow! Great video, I did not believe you could stretch your stomach back out from a sleeve! Of well, more incentive to be good!!

I know I'm a newbie here, but this woman's story is a catalog of everything my surgeon told me not to do. An object lesson for us all, I suppose.

That made me sad! I went to Dr Kelly a month after her and watched all her videos before my surgery. I'm sorry that she is struggling. She is such a beautiful girl. I can't wait until her next check in. I bet she will do great.

From everything I've read, your stomach can never stretch out to the same size it was. Her example from her doctor must be an anomaly.

I would really like to know if this is true or not.

i have heard others say that it is possible if a person constantly overeats. it's a lot harder to do than with other weight loss surgeries, though. i am going to be careful and play it safe. :)

No friggen way it can stretch out to normal size. I believe you can eat around the sleeve, but stretching from 4-6 oz to ONE QUART???!!! Right. I have read studies that show after 5 years it can stretch to 8oz. We are talking sleeve here and not pouch. That was a scare tactic. She needed it though. VERY irresponsible. She is doing the opposite of what she should be doing. I have to ask WHY? She is not "struggling." She wasn't even trying by her own admission. It almost seemed like self-sabotage, but with a lackadaisical attitude.

Just continue to measure food, eat high Protein, lower carb, no sugar, alcohol as a seldom treat. Why go through all that just to ---- it up?

I do xrays for a living and I have seen my own xray post sleeve. The staples are SOOOOO very tiny that even with my trained eyes who have looked at xrays for over 20 years now could barely find them on myself when I knew where to look. I also know that from a plain xray the Dr. would not be able to tell the size or shape of her stomach unless he had her drink some sort of contrast. Who knows... maybe her new Dr. is F-O-S, there are plenty of Dr's out there who are, or just plain mis-informed.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
