Sleeving the sleeve.



Recommended Posts

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'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.

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.

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

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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
