How easy is it to stretch your stomach after surgery? I'm almost 5 months post op. noticed lately I can drink a ton more water than a month or two ago.

It is nearly impossible to stretch your stomach if your surgery was done correctly (leaving nothing of the stretchy part). That's a cruel myth that just does not seem to die.

Water, and any liquid, will flow through your quickly. At this stage in the game you are over being swollen and generally heeled so thin liquids should easily go down and you should be able to drink lots of them.

I had a complication and it has left me with a smaller stomach than I was supposed to have. Boy do I wish a sleeved stomach could be stretched!

I hope you're right!

stretch your stomach after surgery?

congrats on loosing 68 lbs!!!

iggychic ONLY speaks the truth!!!!

per most/most/most NUTS/surgeons you can not stretch your sleeve

the "stretchy' part was removed

you can only possibly/maybe "stretch" your stomach if you eat alllll day (and night!!!) eat, eat, eat - then you might stretch it - this probably won't happen to you

i can see you want to continue to do great with your sleeve

WooHoo

being able todrink more & more Water - thats great - this has nothing to do with "stretching" your sleeve - which as noted - can't happen

continued good luck

keep up the good work/job
