No stricture, stomach is unstable and twisted. They will go in, remove staples, and restaple my pouch against the wall of my stomach. It's the surgery all over again plus more. Very anxious ugh! Thanks for the thoughts!!!

I want ppl who are pre op as well as post op to know this is VERY UNCOMMON and is VERY UNLIKELY to happen to you. It does have to do with having the surgery and wouldn't have happened unless I did, but the chances of this happening are very rare and cases are very, very limited. Just don't want viewers who may be pre op to see this and get worried and second guess themselves. Even with this struggle, NO REGRETS!

That's crazy Kyle, how do you feel? Did this all come about b/c of your food intake? Do you think the weight loss was a direct result to this? Let me tell you I'm struggling. I get hungry, I watch what I'm eating, I'm exercising almost daily and I'm again at a freaking stall.... I can't win! I'm getting so frustrated... This is a lot easier for other people it seems...

Sorry to hear about your stall :-) Just keep a positive attitude!

They said my weight loss is not a result of it at all. As I eat the things my stomach does tolerate and get in my Protein and eat regularly and what not. They said that it can happen to people that lose weight really quick and I was one of those ppl I lost a lot really quick and that effects the stomach and the insides. After the surgery I will actually probably eat the way I have been since I'm comfortable with it and I'm getting my protein and what not. The stomach twisting is what is causing me to be sensative to a lot of foods. It's EXTREAMLY uncommon, but I lost a lot of weight within the first couple of months which had an effect on this happening. So the cause of it was actually losing the weight to quickly.

Don't get discouraged about your stall! As you can see stalls are common and then suddenly BOOM you start losing again. And always remember men lose at a quicker pace. Talk with your nutritionalist and see what they say. How much are you down since day of surgery? Don't get discouraged, keep a positive attitude and keep pushing!

Even with my struggles I still have no regrets and feel very proud of myself with making the decision to get sleeved that I have. This is day of surgery on left and the right one of yesterday, five months post op when I went in for testing. (I don't remember either of them being taken lol)

Well I want to be like you lol... I'm at 35lbs and actually gained a lb...

Your doing great! 35 lbs gone, a lb gained, the stall will be done in a week or two and then you'll start dropping again! Keep that positive frame of mind! :-)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
