I am about 5 years out from having my sleeve. I did not lose the weight that I would have thought I would lose. The doc even had me do a few tests to see if I had something going on in my esophagus and gut. Everything was good. I recently went to a new Bariatric surgeons office. Upon talking to them I am being told that I am one of those who bc of diabetes I am having hard time shedding the lbs. I should have gotten a bi pass. Because I am diabetic I am eligible to have a revision. Most likely a bipass. I am going thru the motions, being tested and have 6 months to make up my mind. Is there any one else out there who may be going thru this as well?

I would call around and see if there was another Bariatric Phys in you area, or close to where you live. I didn't go back to the one I had because I was stuck in a crack, he was in process of changing hospitals and the hosp where he was going is not covered w my insurance.

I would love to be able to stay in touch and see how you are progressing, as I will most likely be going thru the same thing in a few months. I too have some underlying things going on in my life. Thank you for your input. I also had a hard time with water when I had sleeve. I could not drink it, it took a year before I could drink anything cold.
