Second Gastric sleeve

[kjnelson 51]

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.

Hey, it got better, yeah! The foam is gone and the pain is gone from swallowing. So now to concentrate on getting liquids and Protein. Not really hungry which is good. Going to try and get myself on a food schedule.

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!
