Hi everyone

I am 3 and a half years post op and I am able to eat alot and I am gaining weight. I lost 102lbs but I have 50-60lbs back on ???? I am wondering if anyone here has been resleeved?

If so how was your experience? I have been told I have a wide sleeve so it can be but I am nervous.

Have you tried doing liquid protein shakes for a week and see if you regain restriction?

Have you been back to your surgeon? Have you have your sleeve examined recently?

I sent a copy of a barium swallow I had done last year to a doctor in Mexico and he said I had a wide sleeve.

If this is a surgeon that wants you to come have surgery with him, you have to take his opinion with a grain of salt.

Have you been back to the surgeon who did your surgery the first time? Is that Dr in the US or Mexico?

I would go to the DS honestly if the Sleeve wasn't working for me.

I am actually in canada and the surgeon here don't see you afterwards

I've been told the only option after the sleeve is the full bypass. You can't have a second sleeve. However, insurance will only pay for one weight loss surgery.

I'm in the process of getting resleeved just waiting on approval from insurance. I had an endoscopy and my sleeve has stretched.

This is false.

Instead of looking at additional surgical options I would suggest that you deal with the issues that cause you to gain wait, and your relationship with food. Emotional eating? Overeating? These surgeries won't produce miracles and getting another surgery isn't going to fix the problems that you are having.

Are you weighing/measuring your portions? Watching calories and protein? Eating according to the nutrition guidelines that your nutritionist and/or surgeon provided? Eating three meals a day?

Surgery helps with restriction. It doesn't help with food choices or frequency.

Hi I'm 3 weeks out from having a gastric sleeve and my doctor told me the only one if this don't work is a bypass . ?

Which insurance? How do you make your doctor do an endoscopy to see if it stretched?

Most people go from Sleeve to DS, that is the more natural path. If your sleeve is done right in the first place you don't even have enough stretchy stomach for the bypass anyway. The only reason to go from Sleeve to bypass instead of DS is for GERD.
