Hi I was diagnosed with cancer 6months after my sleeve.I'm in the beginning going to have surgery in few weeks to remove the cancer and see what stage I'm at. Wonder had any one experience this so soon after surgery and how did it affect your weight loss with chemo or radiation or both ?

I just had surgery at 5 months for an extremely large abdominal mass that was suspected to be cancer but pathology reports came back and things are benign. The biggest thing I have run into is a stall, primarily I think because during the surgery and month post I have eaten what I could tolerate (lots of soda crackers/carbs) and unable to get all my Vitamins and fluids in as easily. I'm about 6 weeks post now and working on getting back on track. Best wishes sent your way.

I've been sleeved for about month now, but I'm a throat cancer survivor. I've had surgery, chemo and radiation. I can tell you from experience that this trifecta combination was the most effective diet I ever experienced. I lost 97 pounds in about four months. I had the sleeve done because after seven years I had gained that 97 pounds back.

You didn't mention the type of cancer you have. That said, I think you're going to discover that everyone's cancer experience is different. A treatment and / or side effects that bother one patient may not have any effect on another.

For example, most people with my type of cancer have difficulty swallowing from the radiation burns and from the chemo. They put a PEG tube into the stomach so that you can be fed. In my case there was never an issue with swallowing. The worst part of the experience for me was the feeding tub and some associated chemo nausea.

Hang in there. Cancer treatments can sometimes be rough, but they are doable. Cancer is beatable. I was a stage IV in 2010 and was declared cured n 2015. You can do it! Kick cancer's butt!

I have utures cancer with a rare clear cell they also found some nodules and lesions in lungs and liver. I won't know my treatment plan until after my surgery. Everybody tells me to eat eat I need all my Protein to be strong,but I don't want to gain my start wieght was 260 surgery day June 2 2016 243 and now I'm 184 and its been slow now so don't want to gain.
