So many here have said your sleeve can't stretch. And many are months and years out and still get full by less than a sandwich. If this is true than how is it that several people are heavy after the sleeve and have to get it re-done. A friend of mine gained back all his weight and eats like he did prior to the sleeve. I'm confused how some people still can't even eat a full sandwich. Sorry if this seems like a silly question.

i know a man who has regained 100 lbs. when I see him eat, his plate is full of mashed potatoes, gravy, Mac and cheese, and fried foods. He had no intention of giving up these foods. I could eat like that, and whether the sleeve stretches or the foods slide on through, it doesn't matter. You can still eat yourself right back to where you started, or more. Depends on what you want to do with your life. I just cannot imagine going back to that place.

Easy. Graze all day on bad foods. When you want to eat things, you find a way.

I can't link on my phone, but go to YouTube and watch Dr Matthew Weiner's video called "Myths about bariatric surgery". He explains it really well.

I knew a woman who had a rny at 500lbs. When i knew her she was 350lb but gaining because she would eat things like 3 shots of espresso in an iced venti glass then fill it full of half and half at the milk bar.... or spoon fulls of peanut butter... or powersized jamba juices. Stuff that was very high calorie but that slid thru her pouch without making her feel full.
