Afraid to stretch my stomach



Recommended Posts

I am 4 years post op from LapBand surgery and am currently in the process of getting a revision to gastric sleeve. I am fearful however about stretching my stomach back out. I see some people on my 600lb life and YouTube who had the sleeve and then streched there stomach back out. How do I make sure that I dont do that? I simply cannot fail this time around.

You can't stretch a properly formed sleeve, so if you have a good Dr you don't have to worry about a stretched sleeve.

Most people on 600 lb life have RNY and those pouches can stretch and some times people also make another stomach at the top of their intestines.

The people on 600 pounds life don't have stretched stomach. They graze and eat sliders all day. You can watch them from the very beginning eating trash. They are sever food addicts and will do anything to eat, even ignoring their surgery and restriction.

If you weigh and measure your food and eat your proper portions you never have to worry about over eating or stretching anything.

      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?

      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! 😞
