February 2012 here...just officially passed the four year mark. Still maintaining a normal BMI. Thrilled about that. Did have a hiccup where my weight went up 8 pounds due to a major stressful family...
Although there is some truth to your statement, it can't be all or nothing. It's unhealthy to think that way and can cause serious problems later down the line. I'm over 4 years post op and I...
Apparently not checking in on the board for 6 months was a vital mistake as I missed some prime entertainment
Dear B-rizzle
If you decide to get re-sleeved use a reputable surgeon that makes a tight sleeve. Don't use someone you don't trust. Plus you are just going to have to eat by the post-op guidelines...
Holy crap! That is pretty wild stuff. a second sleeve maybe. but a third one and only to lose 11 pounds? I'm pretty shocked
I have had lipo before and yes if you gain any weight you will see it somewhere and it may be in a different way than before. it may just be that your way of showing weight gain is in your back area....
Hi Popsicle-
I am sorry you experienced regain. I can't imagine moving so far away and taking care of my aging parents. I personally could not do it. I would have had to let them get other sorts of...
Can't believe it's been 3 years! I am still doing great and still check in here now and then. Still maintaining my weight loss and feeling great. So thankful for my sleeve and for this forum and all...
So how did it all go? :-) Update
Best wishes! I have found exercising an extra 15 minutes a day for a few weeks helps! So if you work out 30 minutes add a little extra. start logging on Myfitnesspal again. i have lost a few pounds...
Hey Phillip! dump any extra sugar and processed carbs! Come back here daily for accountability.
Dump any liquid calories you are consuming! This is a major contributor to weight regain and I've...
Hello everyone! I have missed this forum! I came here constantly for the first two years post op. I have moved on to Facebook gastric sleeve support groups but I just happened to surf into the site...
With all of my heart I tell you it is indeed worth it! 3 years out. So so pleased. It has kept me healthy with diabetes in remission and in a normal BMI! Far surpassed my own expectations. I also...
Never needed a doctor for aftercare but would have used a local urgent care clinic for any problems such as taking stitches out or infected stitches if that does happen (it doesnt' happen that often...
Just fyi--my experience was decent there. Not great. Not bad. I would say good. He did a GREAT job on my sleeve though.
I am 3 years post op. Zero complications. Excellent restriction and a tool...
Good job on the weight loss. As far as the depression I agree that you may want to talk to someone. You have to not only take care of your BODY after weight loss surgery but your MIND. Your mind is...
Congratulations Truffles on all of your success from one of the other "old timers"!
First of all, how much weight did you need to lose to get to your goal weight? How much weight did you lose with the band and how much did you put back on before you revised? It is not always easy to...
Sounds to me like the sleeve didn't fail most of you YOUR SURGEONS DID. You should not be able to eat a lot of food right out of surgery and you should feel big time restriction. I would be seeking...
You look beautiful! Love your story! Congratulations on the weight loss and NEVER forget where you came from!!! That is the key to keeping the weight off. Just remember how good you feel today and...
I am 2.5 years out and I am still holding strong. What has happened? Is your restriction gone?
When i notice I've been having a carby day or two, I go back to eating only dense protein for a few...
I believe marriages that are weak before surgery will still be weak after surgery and perhaps, as we can surmise, even weaker. If it makes you feel any better--my surgery has not changed my marriage....
:) Praise praise praise for telling it like it is!! If no one told you a stall is absolutely unequivocally normal at 2-3 weeks out and may last a couple of weeks then you were done a disservice....
Although I'm not sure if the staples cause your esophageal perforation, because there is no way to know, I will say that I believe you that you had that complication and that it is possible it was...
