  1. The gastric sleeve surgery was the best thing I ever did. I had it in August 2013 and lost over 100 pounds. I have been drinking diet soda and I know that my sleeve has stretched. I have gained 30 pounds back. I am desperate to go back to the way things were. If insurance doesn't cover it which I'm positive they probably won't can I still have revision surgery? Am I eligible at 160 pounds? I just want my sleeve back to the way it was. Or am I eligible for lap band?

    It was the best thing that I ever did. I lost 100 pounds and got my life back ... but listen to suggestions. It's so easy to go back to your old ways.
  3. @@dtownchica thank you so much. I have been running several miles a day (I have always been a runner) I just don't see the scale going down ... I feel like after the first year it's impossible to continue losing weight.
  4. I am so frustrated with myself. I had the gastric sleeve surgery August 2013. At first it was difficult to get used to but after the weight started coming off I loved it! Within a year I had lost 100 pounds. I felt invincible. In the middle of that year I noticed I was able to eat whatever I wanted (much smaller portions but still whatever I wanted) and the weight was STILL coming off! I know that was not a good idea but I did get used to doing this. After the year was over the weight stopped coming off ... It has now been 2.5 years and I have gained 10 pounds back. I am able to eat pretty much the amount of a normal person and I have to watch my weight constantly. I try to eat as little and as healthy as I can but the weight will NOT come off. I REGRET not sticking to a strict diet during the first year because I could have lost so much more weight. I am grateful for the weight that I lost but still so frustrated with myself of what could have been. I want to lose 20 more pounds. I do feel as if after the first year I have not been able to move the scale no matter what I do. It's weird and very frustrating after that year of remarkable weight loss while still eating what I loved. I might have stretched my sleeve too. I feel like I'm back in high school obsessing and yoyo dieting again. Does anyone have any encouragement?
