Why do you need re sleeved if dont mind me asking??

[vicki s 146]

nope, dont mind, looks like im the only one, so let everyone know it can happen, It is called a neofundus you can look it up..part of the fundus, stretchy part of the stomach starts to grow back ugh....i have a pouch now and it holds alot of food...wt gain, and reflux is prob the most common symptoms....groan...wish i could find someone else who has had it so i could ask some questions....thanks for asking, makes me feel like someone is listening to me...LOL

I just read something yesterday. Can't find it though. A girl from Canada got sleeved in Mexico with a Dr. Pompoya? Can't remember Dr.'s name. And it was a failed sleeve. He left too much stomach. She just got sleeved again and the right amount of stomach was removed. She has been very successful so far.

It sounds like your eyes are wide open going into this. Think positive. :-)

[vicki s 146]

thanks ladies...amanda, I dont know about eyes wide open, i have to have the hiatal hernia repair and an incisional hernia repair...the sleeve, welllllll, Im going in on a wing and a prayer....dont get me wrong, i want it to be right, just hoping it comes out right this time...

Can you explain how it is possible for the "fundus" to grow back? Did your first surgeon just leave some there and it stretched leaving you with a bigger stomach?

[vicki s 146]

from what i understand, there was alot of scar tissue from the band, he was unable to get behind it, so it is growing back, it is a real term neofundus, someone put the link on one of my posts...he said it just will keep getting bigger and bigger...the food collects there and you can get a bezoar...alot of reflux and had only lost 25lbs and now gained 15 back!...omg what a nightmare! it has been almost 3 yrs since origional sleeve was done...

what is a PM???

[No game 14,436]

I was just going to send you the déjà vu thread.

But I see you just found it!

Weird that there are so many re-sleeves popping up...

"Pm" is the private messaging function here.

If you click on a persons profile you can send them a PM.
