Okay so I got my surgery jan 5th, my best friend is going to hers sometime next month. In her classes they say that it is possible to stretch sleeve out and gain all weight back within a couple years ! Especially by drinking beer and carbonation. I was told this isn't possible. Was curious on what others were told by nut.

I just seen Dr Mun today and asked him specifically about stretching the sleeve and I loved how up front he was. He stated that a bougie above 40 might have more potential to stretch due to being a bit larger but will lose weight also. He explained that if the surgeon made the cut of the stomach in a straight line then there's less chance of the stomach stretching at all. When there's patches and uneveness, then those parts of the stomach is more likely to stretch a bit, but the person will still lose weight if eating a healthy diet with 3 meals a day and not eating in between. This has made me so happy because I did have a andoscopy done and mine is very straight and a size 32 bougie.....So I believe that my stomach will not be stretching. I love to have straight answers......
