So July 11th will be five months post from a band to sleeve revision. Life has been great no complications. I live and feel like a normal person. I went from a starting weight of 280 to a current weight of 212. I wear a size 36 waist and I am currently running 20 miles a week. Side note. I have been a very avid runner since my band. 6 years and 2500 miles logged on Nike plus. My question is that while I know I don't each that much, I feel like I can eat quite a bit. Especially given that my surgeon says my stomach is the size of a thumb. I am wondering if I am still healing and may be able to eat more due to my esophagus which may be able to hold more due to years of band eating. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
