Stretched Sleeve

Hello all!

I am 3 years post op and I have lost about 200 pounds after having the gastric sleeve. I was maintaining my weight well, I always followed the rules besides not drinking enough Water. I got all my Protein from food eating no more than 1 cup or obviously stopping when I was full. I don't exceed more than 800-1000 calories a day. I basically played it by the book.

Well recently I had gained around 30 pounds in like 4 months...I did fall off the wagon for a bit but once again I never over ate, it was more my choice of food that was the problem. I quickly got back on track and have lost a few pounds. I have always been in contact with my dietitian. Recently I decided to contact my surgeon to make sure all was well. This morning I had an upper GI done and the radiologist said my sleeve has stretched...i am so upset and sick to my stomach...I dont understand how it stretched...I know my doctor wont believe me when I tell him that I never over ate...What do you guys think?

    I certainly don't eat like that every day! Of course you would gain weight over time. If I go to a birthday party, I will eat some of that stuff. What is that, like once every couple of months? I have

    I've never even heard orf such a thing happening. Did they give you any idea of how much it allegedly stretched? Reading your story up until the sleeved stretched part, I was almost certain that your

@@dtownchica What's "unintelligent" is some moron who can't distinguish an obviously sarcastic post from real. Then you proceed to try and put your ridiculous two cents in and be mother goose telling everyone to "grow up" who liked my post. Stop being such a pretentious twit. Those people got the humor. I wasn't "taking it out" on anybody. Do yourself a favor and don't come for me unless I send for you. You're wasting your time here. Goodnight.

Like I said, you use the Internet to bully...goodnight to you as well...best of luck.

Blah blah blah....yes, I'm the big bully when you're the one who came in trying to acknowledge me with your disapproving post. Got it.

Some posters "aren't you when you are hungry" and should have a Snicker's.

:)

Important to remember this is the Internet and what is on here doesn't necessarily represent us as people. It's also import o remember that people can actually get hurt on here and cruelty is cruelty no matter whether it's online or in real life

This thread really stressed me out

@@LipstickLady you have way too much time on your hands.

I'm not going to block anyone because I want to be able to defend those that may need defending against rudeness and hurtful attitudes.

Anyway I really don't care that much. It's the Internet. I have a real life!

Girl, I can't keep up with how often you change your tune. That said, I was simply trying to help. ;)

@lipsticklady...were u not calling HP on the language...I'm not trying to start no fresh drama...vut all of this does seem silly for a wls forum...I'm a newbie...trying to get some info...then all this...sorry..but...

I'm not going to hit block either but I think someone who can't read a post and take a joke should get a sense of humor and if thats not something that said person can acquire then one should reframe from commenting on people who do. Jealous ? Maybe that person should spend some time dislodging whatever object they have shoved up ones a**. There! Is that "grow up" enough for you? Sorry you got so offended reading a post that wasn't even directed to you nor did it have anything to do with you.....oh wait no I'm not. PS: "Dtownchica" makes you sound like D town *****, you may want to fix that. That's a grown up suggestion for you. Isn't this fun miss 1 post wonder. I will just leave these here. WARNING : You may want to take a suppository before you read them, you're probably not going to be able to **** for a week! Kisses! ❤️

yes...you are a *keyboard warrior* lol! Go you. You are continuing to make this thread spiral downward...but go ahead with your raunchy, unintelligent posts...is this your outlet so that you can take things out on others faceless? It's ok...'hugs'

You almost typed a proper English sentence. I am so proud of you. Yeah! Good for you!

I know that is quite an accomplishment without having opposable thumbs.

I already have a woman, thank you for the offer, but I only copulate with my own species.

I am not upset by your troll writings. Sorry.

It's funny how "HushXPuppyX" (or whatever his name is) stops writing as a troll then suddenly you appear new here with all of your 7 posts as replies here.

Please go back to under the bridge, or wherever you came from and have a great day. :)

Really?! Just a newbie trying to get info? I'm calling BS. The first post you ever make is an attacking one lol! Trolling at its finest. Tattling to Alex is cracking me up! You don't think he can read? Hummmm lets see who started this....pretty sure I didn't waste my time with you until you spoke to (at) me. BULLY! Lol please!

I'm not going to hit block but I think that a grown adult that comes on here and is posting how they can't believe that their 'friends' didn't let them in on some childish drama is sad. You need to grow up and whoever else agrees with you.

Here....lets not forget.

I'm starting to worry this post is going to be taken down, which is unfortunate, because there is some interesting info and commentary here. I hope that if the post is closed, the OP will still post back about her progress and what the surgeon says.

I gave HP a few free passes before I called him/her on it. I tend to do that when things are heated, but since you "not trying to start no fresh drama", I'll spank her.

@@Elode -- Behave. Thanks.

I'm going to close it now, but not delete it. :)
