Second Gastric sleeve

Well, I had surgery again on May 15th. I was regaining weight and still in the obese category. BMI 40. I think surgery was easier the first time. I saw others had issues but I didn’t. This time I am. It is painful to swallow, I get spasms in my stomach and esophagus. I have a foamy phlegm that stays stuck in my throat. I am learning how to spit that up but I am not getting in very much liquid or food. I hope this gets better soon. Anyone else have foamy phlegm?

I'm amazed they even did a sleeve usually they go for the bypass revision

Due to my cancer and other drugs I take, the doctor did not think a bypass was the right choice for me.

I am planning to get a re-sleeve surgery on 7/25, I am a little nervous about it because I have heard so many people say that the second surgery is harder on the body and t he weight loss is minimal. Others have said it’s all in what you put into it. I have 40lbs to lose.

I would love to know how you are doing now, and if you feel your weight loss goals are possible the second time around.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
