Due to my meds they felt it was not the best option. Bypass would possibly stretch also. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using BariatricPal mobile app

I got the sleeve in 2017 and lost 40 lbs but my sleeve stretch due to some medications I have to take for RA and I had reflux. I gained 30 of the 40 back. I just had the VSG revision done last Wed with a hernia repair (I had not heard of getting a hernia with the sleeve - insurance paid) and I am still feeling the reflux. I am told it will get better but right now it doesn't feel that way. It's not as bad but it's only been less than a week. I just hate starting over it feels harder. I am craving to eat solid food and the healing part is hard also. I feel like phase one liquids is taking forever to pass. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using BariatricPal mobile app

After 6 months of starting this process it finally happen, June 12th (4 days ago). I got my sleeve. it was supposed to be outpatient day surgery but since it was late when I got to recovery they just decided to keep me overnight. Then when they were going to release my the next day my bp was higher than I have ever seen it and my heart rate was very low. so the doctors would not release me. I spent another night there and finally after 3 doctors and a PA pow wow and realized something they were doing was making my bp high they decided to release me. 3days, 2 nights in the hospital I could not wait to leave. I cannot remember much about the first night except being in pain. And after that, when you are a patient in the hospital they keep your pain level to a minimal so day 2 and 3 were kind of blurs, just meds, 1 0z of broth, popsicles, water and walking. My first night out was rough. I was tired, somewhat un-sure of what I had really done and could not see what was different yet. Once I went home the following day I could now see some of the what's different. I am still coming up with a plan as to how to get 64oz in each day. I know it can be done, other people are and have done it, I just need to figure out my method. When I drink at certain times it really hurts going down, I am trying to figure what makes it hurt, sipping is best but there are times I am so thirsty. My stomach hurt really really bad like bad growling pains , but are they growling pains? So I drink something 1oz and it makes it feel better until it goes into the stomach, then it hurts again. I just need to learn my body again. I want food, I want to eat and I thinks it's only because I am use to eating. 3 weeks of liquid, when does it get easier??? And finally last night I was sleeping on my side and while in a deep sleep I keep having that horrible pain that I get when I drink my 1oz to fast or try to drink 2 (1oz) back to back) so bad I woke up after it continued to happen a few times. Is there or did anyone else get this? So the journey continues and I thank all of you who shares there story, it helps to read what others are going through. I really do appreciate you all.

I am 3 day post op also and I am having a hard time with the 1oz per 15 minutes. does everything we drink out of our 1oz cups counts toward our 640zs? even our soup broths. Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app

you guys are awesome. I needed to hear all of that. I just see other people losing without surgery and say why can't i do that. but I have talked to 3 doctors, a psychologist and my rheumatologist who all agree that I should have this surgery to help with my severe RA. I just say if I could not do it ait without surgery can I be successful with it. but all of you are mom v me excited again. thanks Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app

I would call it cheating, but I did eat something with beans in it and I ate bread with one of my meals. Don't look at it as cheating you just can't change over night. it's a process Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app
