Starting over again

[Mamaŕe 12]

I got the sleeve in 2017 and lost 40 lbs but my sleeve stretch due to some medications I have to take for RA and I had reflux. I gained 30 of the 40 back. I just had the VSG revision done last Wed with a hernia repair (I had not heard of getting a hernia with the sleeve - insurance paid) and I am still feeling the reflux. I am told it will get better but right now it doesn't feel that way. It's not as bad but it's only been less than a week. I just hate starting over it feels harder. I am craving to eat solid food and the healing part is hard also. I feel like phase one liquids is taking forever to pass.

Due to my meds they felt it was not the best option. Bypass would possibly stretch also.

Good morning everyone. I had my sleeve done August 2015. I lost 67 pounds and slowly have regained all the weight back. I believe my stomach stretched. Is it possible to be resleeved all over again? Will my insurance cover it? I have New York Medicare and Medicaid.

I am hoping someone would give me some info on it. I recently had an upper GI X-ray done. The dr is supposed to read it any day now. But I peaked at the X-ray while it was being taken and I can see that my stomach stretched. I have lost 9 pounds so far since September 23rd. I have been constantly staying active. I really would appreciate any feedback you can give me on the matter. I feel like a big disappointment lately. I feel it’s time to do ME. Now that the kids are grown and working.

There's generally two options... Conversion to RNY bypass or turn sleeve into DS...

Don't worry- things may still be fine- wait ( yeah i KNOW that's hard!) And talk it over with your doctor, unless you are a professional , they can be hard to interpet and after all ,you DID have a nice little weight loss and 5hat is a GOOD thing. Don't tie yourself up in. " nots" until You really have to- things are not "lost" as yet.
