How is it going so far. I would like to know what steps I would need to take to have this re sleeve procedure completed? Do I need to go to my primary care doctor to have him to check things that may have went wrong?

My second time I realized I wasn't all the way sleeved correctly.
My Hiatal Hernia was repaired and only a small amount of my stomach was cut...
So this time I was sleeved the right way.

The second surgery was a way more painful recovery!!!!
I was at a recovery house for a day and they wouldn't give me extra meds without the Doctors approval. He was home and not available so I had to remain in pain.
Plus they didn't have access to more meds just the ones from the pharmacy.
I'd much rather stayed in the hospital overnight like my first surgery to avoid this happening...

Yes I have reflux and heartburn and lack of energy daily. However, I'm so thankful to have been resleeved this time. I feel like I actually have a tool now.

I do take iron pills from Gnc and b vitamins that help with energy.
And I drink more coffee and know not to eat high carb foods or I'll be so sleepy
Shortly afterward...

I workout more and that helps with energy too.
I'm in maintenance now 145-150. And without this surgery correction I would still be in the 180's!!!

Happy New Year all!!!!

I started the second surgery at 194. I am currently at 176. I am also losing slow, but unlike you, I truly think they did nothing to my stomach, except cut me open. I don't feel any restriction, I am still hungry like before, I have continued to work out 4 to 5 days a week for hour and 1/2, cardio and weights, I am only eating between 800 and 900 calories, but I could eat so much more if I let myself. I honestly feel like Dr. Almanza ripped me off and I think you are very lucky you got to have your revision here in the states. but at least I am losing again, even if they did nothing to change my stomache, all the liquid dieting pushed me in the right direction again. Even if it's only ounces per week instead of pounds, it's moving in the right direction.

How is it going, how is the weight loss, is it coming off agian??

This is how bad i think i was broken. My 5 day liquid pre-op diet, i lost one ounce. One. Are you shitting me. Since my surgery, on monday the 21st, i was at 188. Started at 194. Down 6 lbs. I am still having gas pains, i cant get rid of the crap. Last time i had a really hard time waking up from the anestisia, i just wanted to sleep, so i told them that and i dont know if they used less, but i was awake and walkin like a fiend the whole time, didnt help though, gas pains wont budge. I have 2 weeks of liquids and then onto pureed.

Hello, yes thank God it was done on Thursday!
All went well, a lot more scare tissue than projected.
So more pain than last time. And I have a drain this time to avoid infection.
I'm so happy it's done and I can move on to losing weight
And eating healthy and having more energy!

Who was your surgery and recovery?

Yay for you. You should be sleeved again by now, how are you feeling? I am home and getting lots of rest until work on Monday. Hope everything went well and your recovery is smooth.

OMG, Aetna has approved my Resleeve with Dr. Naim in Costa Mesa, CA.
No need to go to Mexico...
Surgery in 3 days, I'm so excited to save the money and travel time.
Now it's outpatient surgery :-)

I get home on the 17th. I have an appointment with my dr. on the 18th to get an x-ray and make sure all is as it should be.

WOW, AM I STUPID, I KEEP FORGETTING THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME TOO. YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ALL THIS AND MORE. I TOTALLY GET WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM WHEN I MADE MY DATE, BECAUSE THEN I MET A GAL THAT WAS HAVING HERS REDOEN WITH DR. ALMANZA AND SHE WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE 8TH OF FEBRUARY, I WANTED SO BAD TO HAVE MINE THAT SOON. hOW STRETCHED OUT IS YOUR TUMMY, DID YOU EVER DO THE CAPACITY TEST WITH THE COTTAGE CHEESE???

I will keep you posted. You keep your spirits up, it will be here sooner than you think.

Just look at it this way, you have more prep time!!! Make yourself a list of goals and put some dates on them and see how close to your dates you can get to meet them. Make a bucket list of all the things you want to do when your "skinny", because i promise you, the first time you fly in an airplane and your sides don't hit the armrest, that is the best feeling in the entire world!!!!

You are being resleeved? what happened to the first sleeve? So you are going to Mexico?

Yeah, mine is 3500 with my 250 deposit and $200.00 discount for paying cash, it will be 3299. all total which is about 700 less than I paid the 1st time around. My pre-op liquid is 3 days this time. last time it was 5 but I did 10 I was so scared that my liver would be too fatty for the surgery. I will do double this time also and do liquids for 6 days, just to be safe. I have spent 900 on plane tickets and cant afford to get down there and then be sent home because my liver is too fatty to operate.

My husband is going with me, it will help incentivize me to get up and moving as there will be no one to entertain him like there was last time as my best friend also went. I am 5'51/2" and the last time I weighed I was at 197. I started the last time at 273, got down to 188, for a couple days, so I counted that as my lowest. was at 181, but only for 1 day, so I don't count that. I am just constantly battling between the 188 and the 197, I lose and gain over and over again with no permanent loss in sight. My goal is 130, I think that gives me the room I need to eventually put back on a few pounds and stabilize. How much are you paying with Garcia if I might ask??
