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!!

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
