Hey guys,
So I had the gastric sleeve procedure right before I turned 19, back in 2013.i initially lost over 160 lbs and got down to my lowest weight of 190 by not eating at all and weighing six or seven times a day. To say I was compulsive would be an understatement. It took a couple of years before I was able to calm down and eat more naturally without weighing daily. This was where my gain back began several years ago. I have since gained back about 65 lbs and I would definitely like to lose it and then some. I am six feet tall and have always had a goal of 170. In the past year or so I have moved out of state and no longer am in contact with my surgeon. I have recently been seeing a new primary care provider who I have discussed these issues with. I have been having severely bad acid reflux for over a year now, and within the last several months I have been getting sick like in the early days. Anytime I eat anything I feel like I am going to vomit within ten to fifteen minutes. My current PCP is concerned that the bottom of my esophagus is expanding and causing all of the backflow and has been causing me to eat more with the reflux. I am currently waiting for the surgery scheduler to call me back about my endoscopy appointment. They want to see if this is what is causing the issues and if so they are talking about doing a r&y procedure to help fix it. I’m just wanting to know if anyone else hs has these issues this far out? I’m concerned because I really don’t want to go through another surgery. The first time was extremely rough on me and anytime I would drink water I would vomit (I lost 42 lbs in the first month after surgery). Any info or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-H
