Even if they didn't take enough, they still took some. You shouldn't be gaining.

Not entirely accurate. It's possible to gain weight even with a correctly performed sleeve surgery. Eating habits still play a very important role in weight loss. It's possible to consume malts, milk shakes, fatty or buttery foods high in calories that slide through the sleeve more easily. It's also possible to keep eating as space becomes available. I had to watch for this during Christmas and Thanksgiving because the easily accessible food made it tempting to eat a little something every 30 minutes or so. Given the time during a day I could have easily consumed an entire pie as well as my dinner, especially if I avoided denser Proteins and stuck with just the high cal foods.

I have a bad habit of skipping logging when I know I've been bad. :)

I watched a video of a plication procedure. If one of those sutures popped, she would most certainly feel it. It's not just a single layer of sutures, it's layer upon layer upon layer of the stomach folded in on itself and sutured closed. She would feel that and she would definitely KNOW.

This really just sounds like a case of a large sleeve and a patient that has to learn to manage that or look at a further procedure like the Duodenal Switch.

I think a GI Floro Scan would be best to show not only size but how food and liquids pass through it

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
