Hello

I just posted something about this but the more i do research, the more I am freaking out...I meat my surgeon today. I am 1.5 months out. He said that he used a 60 bougie on me, that my stomach shoul hold 9-10 oz and that he took off 75% of my stomach. the thing is, people keep telling me that because my sleeve is ''bigger'' i will regain a lot of weight 3-5 years out :( i cant beleive this. This cant be right. People say they used 60 bougies back in 2000...wtf.

i am so sad and confused.

My surgeon is the head of a renowned hospital in my city (canada) and he has done tons of sleeves!

please help me :(

Their experience doesn't define yours. It is up to all of us to maintain a healthy body with nutrition and exercise. Our sleeves are only a tool to help us get there. They may not have used it wisely. Best wishes :)

Hi.. I'm just starting my process on trying 2 get approved for the sleeve.., but, seems 2 me that others have experienced different reactions to the surgery.? I would talk 2 ur Dr. If I were you. But, try 2 stay healthy by excercising and eating right. So, the pounds won't come back. Good luck

The sleeve is just a tool... and as BB stated... its all about utilizing the tool to its fullest... eating RIGHT and MOVING DAILY... you will lose it... and hopefully keep it off...I'm 7 mths out... and am losing slowly... but I am NOT gaining... the weight IS coming off... and I plan for it to stay off for good...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
