I will be going in for surgery, awaiting date. Long day, off to relax.

Is there a stricture, Kyle? What are they going to do? Thinking of you, hunny!

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! :-)

u r so silly!

I go in Tuesday for surgery for revision. Had long convo with doctor Yesterday after procedure as well as today when he called me. This should be a blast...
