Very curious! My sister had the VSG, and I have the RNY. We were talking today about who is MORE at risk of stretching....rny patients or sleeve patients? Anyone want to guess on this one? I think it would make more sense for a pouch to stretch rather than a sleeve, but I could be wrong!

Vsg is bound to stretch more than an rny pouch. Reason being is the hormone that's released its just reduced but comes back with the vsg therefore the vsg soul stretch nearly to the size itwas before. As a pouch doesn't have any of the greater curve its not nearly going to stretch as much although they both stretch as long as you do what your surgeon tells you it shouldn't stretch barely if at All.

After researching the best surgery to undergo for medication absorption due to an autoimmune disorder and longevity for surgery weight loss, studies show stretching is based on the person and how you follow the program, if you eat all the wrong foods , amounts,that would stretch your pouch or sleeve, such as pop, carbonated beverages, starches, fried,drink with straws both are bound to stretch in the long run.....however very very hard to achieve, it's weight gain is usually due to eating the wrong.foods high calorie beverages, and no excercise, so getting back to basics usually gets your tool back into shape.

The sleeve, but I opted for the rny because I wanted more agressive means for weight loss, you can always go from sleeve to rny.in the future if you , your surgeon and your insurance allow you decide .

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
