Photo of stretched sleeve

Found this in a previous post at Bariatricpal. Tried to bump the post, but it was too old to bump (from 2012) This is pretty cool...a photo of what happens to a sleeve over four years of stretching. Gets a bit bigger, but no where near original stomach size.

I just got re-sleeved February 27, six days postop I have pictures that my doctor took. He stated I was almost the size of a regular stomach. It can be done. I’m not proud about it but the truth is I am a perfect example of what can happen. For some reason everyone thinks that it’s not possible

I have compassion for anyone struggling after surgery. I hear stretching and revisions are a rare occurrence. Sorry to hear this was your situation.

Oh my god that’s from the last time I was on here I’m trying to learn how to update all my information I was re-sleeved on Tuesday, February 12 th The day of surgery I was 178 I have lost 12 pounds since Tuesday I’m still on liquids I’m weak and crabby as heck. Yes I do have pictures I will post them

I always seem to have trouble finding the place to post weight. Click on your profile, then My Surgery, then find Progress on the left hand side of the page.

hope that helps!
