  1. What is the DS option? I had sleeve 7 years ago and am now struggling. Have "only" gained 20 of the 150lbs I lost, but everything just feels so different. My relationship with food feels like it did pre-sleeve. I now crave food all the time, am never satisfied, and am really struggling - like the fat person I was before surgery? I am afraid of the bypass, and (maybe) would entertain a sleeve tuneup if such a thing exists. Yes I do have terrible stomach pain/ heartburn, but not reflux? And that is well documented, yet they say that I do not have hernia...?
  2. I'm 6 years out, lost 150lbs and have maintained pretty well +/- 10 to 15 lbs. But I have noticed that my loose skin belly bulge seems to be growing disproportionately with my weight fluctuations...Even at my lowest weight my lower belly bulge seems to be getting larger with time? Any one else experience this? Any theories? Thx

    Post Op Redistribution of Fat?

    Yes age does change may change how we lose weight, but 6 years for me isnt that long. When I lost weight before and when I hit my goal weight after surgery, I didnt have as big of a belly bulge. I just worry sometimes that this surgery is so relatively new, and while the surgeons that sell it profess to know everything, we really dont know the long long term effects and wouldnt it be a bummer if there was something weird developing with the way fat accumulates that they didnt anticipate and we all end up with big balloons around our belly instead of what we were actually hoping for....I dunno - as my wife reminds me, I worry too much!
