Steeks started following I failed my sleeve surgery.
-
I want to ask people for some advise. Almost 4 years ago I had sleeve surgery. I was at 340 lbs when I went in for my 1st Dr. apt and was at 223lb the day of my surgery. I made it down to 269 and now I am back up to 305. It seems like I can eat pretty much any size portion I want. Yes I do have some discomfort when I eat too much, but I know my sleeve has stretched a lot. I have tried cutting down my meal sizes, but cant get down under 300 . I feel like a total failure. What are my options? Can my Dr help? Am I eligible for the sleeve again or is there another surgery I could get? Will my insurance cover it? Lots of questions I know... Thanks in advance.

Good for you! I felt great after 5 days also, it was nice to get out of bed without much pain at all. Now after almost 3 weeks i am still trying to get my Water in. But I know I will get better with time. And down almost 40 lbs!

You are correct..I need to get 64 oz a day, but it was tough the 1st few days. I am getting about 48 a day now and its getting a lot better each day. I am also eating 2 sf popsicles a day. today my goal is 64 oz of Water. I am feeling 100 % back to normal in just 6 days post op!

I was sleeved on 10-8 and everyday I am doing better. Not much pain getting out of bed today. My stomach sounds like a battle going on in there, and finally having a BM. I am hoping that will help with the gas pains. Still trying to reach 30 oz of Clear liquids a day. sugar free popsicles have never tasted so good. I have not been on any pain meds since Thursday. Feeling better every day!
