I'm getting my revision done the 1st week of October. I have confidence that I will lose, but once I'm at goal I'm scared I will regain and the whole thing will be pointless....this thought just keeps entering my mind and I can't shake it. I don't want to be a failure again like I was with my band...:(

I have not had this done, but from what I have read about the band, you did not fail at it, rather it failed you. I know people who have the band, and they can eat alot, to include sodas, I can only fit 1/8 to 1/3 cups of food in my belly. Good luck at the revision!

I was sleeved over a year ago. I lost 73 pounds and then hit a stall that lasted several months. I exercise and eat right, but I could do better getting my Water in.

When I was on vacation in August, I was very active and ate right. I ended up gaining 6 pounds (water weight). My ankle was swelling, and I was bloated.

Two weeks later, I've lost the 6 pounds and am finally down even more (another 2.6 pounds). The bloating incident got me back on the path to drinking my Water like I am supposed to be drinking it.

I can't eat like I did before, so I don't see how I can get back to my starting weight. It would be hard to do and painful. As long as I eat my Protein first, I have trouble eating anything else.

By getting a sleeve, following the. Rules-- you are putting yourself in line for success !!

To regain you would have to stretch, abuse your sleeve and WORK at it ! The sleeve like the band is a tool to enable you to stay on track.

      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! 😞
