Ok, so I am five months post open, sleeved October 7, 2013. I am down over 100 pounds since surgery date. I lost just under a 100 pounds by my three month post open date, which was amazing. I felt and do feel like a whole new person. The past 6-8 weeks I've been a bit more sensitive to foods. I still get in my protein, but my food sensitivity is pretty extravagant I guess. Had some testing done, and yesterday and a full Endoscopy where they gave full anaesthesia in case I needed balloon dil plus they wanted to do extensive evaluation on the stomach. Well, the outcome? My stomach is very much twisted, twirled and 'kinked'. I asked myself and the Doctor how the shell this could happen, especially since I've done what I am supposed to and have been so successful! Well, it turns out that because my weight loss was so rapid and successful it actually caused my new pouch and inside to twist and dance. I was shocked, and scared because I've never heard of this. I spoke with the Doctor extensively, and revision surgery is needed. Got the call today and go in Tuesday for surgery. This is not common and happens in less then 0.02% of patients. Just know that losing so much so quickly could have this possible effect, although rare, still possible. Now I will be a revision patient, and have surgery again, and go through it all over again plus more. I'm staying positive and I wish everyone the best. I just wanted to briefly share a little bit of my success story, as well as the negative effect. I will say, NO REGRETS, never felt better! Hope everyone is doing well, pre open and post open.

So sorry you have to go through this! Best of luck to you.

Thanks Amy!
