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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
