I'm confused. If you are already eating the smaller amounts/low calories/high Protein then how is a revision of the sleeve going to help?

i already have the revision to the sleeve; but i am not losing weight. i am not a big person. date of surgery i was 170lbs and as of today 156lbs but it been almost 7 months since surgery. i should be al goal right now but thats not the case!!!

I guess the doc checked your thyroid? Just a thought... I started eating more and came out of a stall at three months and have been losing pretty steadily...

I was sleeved in Tj. and the girl ahead of me in surgery only weighed 165lbs...But she was very short and looked to weigh more...

that is my case, i am 4'11 and right now i weght 156. had the sleeve done in may 2012 but no weight lost. i am thinking to have done the DS in Mexico next year.. there is one particular doctor that will do it; Dr. alejandro lopez in TJ but he is charging me 8500. i do not know much about that surgery and i am alittle scare..

This is definitely tough but you can do this! You gotta work your sleeve. First, if you are not doing this already, start tracking your exercize and food on Myfitnesspal. It's free and easy to do. Second, how often are you eating? Do you notice you lose weight easier when you eat more small, frequent meals or ones that are farther apart? Try doing both, a week at a time, and track the results. Third, are you getting your Protein in? At least 60g if not more, especially if you are active! Fourth, are you working out? Your metabolism may be stalling and you may need a boost! I would do all of these things for a month, and if there is no change, then take your MFP diet and results to your doctor and have them refer you to a dietician and/or do further bloodwork or ultrasounds.

Good luck!

I second this idea. Get your thyroid checked first. Thyroid issues can cause you to not lose no matter what you do.

As they say calories in and exersize says it all. Did you try to count every little thing that goes into your mouth and the estimate how many calories you burn and see where you are then. Are you going to the gym, counting calories ?

I am sorry your having such trouble. It must be frustrating. Good luck to you. I can't believe your doctor doesn't have some input on this. What a terrible thing to have to go through and have no results.

Dr Ponce de leon will do a resleeve if it is beneficial.

I'm not sure if it didn't work the first time what are the chances it will work a second time. I would be afraid to have them cut on my stomach again.

is Dr Ponce de leon expensive.. not all doctor in Mexico do the DS surgery..

What is DS?

Yes' date=' I don't believe there is a better surgeon. Only nicer facilities (which will cost you more).

My opinion, the 3 best surgeons are Dr. Alvarez, Dr. Aceves, & dr. Ponce de leon.

If you chose any of those 3 I believe you'd be in the best hands in the world.

They had no advice for you. Maybe seeing a nutritionist might help. I hate to see someone have the same surgery twice and still get no results.
