I had the gastric sleeve on June 2nd 2014, Dr. Hoyt was my surgoen at Darnell army medical and I had several complications after surgery one of which was a leak that resulted in me needing to be transferred to BAMC (in San Antonio ) and then was finally released and able to start true post op life on June 30th. I went to all my follow ups and lots of support groups meet quiet a few times everything was great (other than having 3 drs over the years and 2 surgeries to repair a umbilical hernia I had fixed during the same orginal surgery in 2014 ) I have not had a follow-up in close to 2 years or seen a nutritionist but ive maintained on the appropriate diet and stayed exercising, my start weight was 290 surgery was 273 and at my smallest was 160 (I'm 5 ' 5 1/2 ) Over past few months things have been changing, my restriction feels totally gone, I have incredible heart burn that doesn't seem to go away my food at times feels like its stacking I'm often very nauseas and I get awful stomach pains and headaches and noone can really figure it out, I feel bloated constantly Im back up too 195 regardless of me mantaining the diet and exercise and then I finally thought maybe its sleeve related? Im in the process now to figuring out how I go about getting in to another surgoen for a follow up to see if everything is okay and the hospitals nutritionist who heads the WLS program as well but its just been so long I dont even know the proper steps to take so its taking time. Is there anyone whose gone through this? Im so frustrated and defeteated and I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Get your PCP to refer you for an endoscopy to check for GERD damage, or just put you on medication for it and see if that helps. PCP can also refer you to Nutritionist. Go back to basics, maybe eliminate dairy and all wheat for a couple weeks.

What have you tried so far? Do you track your food?

Is it recently you got heart burn? Or directly after surgery?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
