How do you gain?

[jeniferdann 0]

Many many people have said that the sleeve may stretch A BIT but that it really won't make much difference. My question is - how do people put the weight back on if their stomach literally won't fit any more food? ?

If you make bad choices and eat cheesecake all day long (or any other crap food that's high in sugar and calories) you will gain the weight back. The good news is, you'll always have your tool to fall back on. Just go through the process again! Follow the post-op diet. Me, I would go through all the phases starting out with liquids and moving on through the stages. I'm anal, so that's just me. Dr. Aceves told me the same thing I'm telling you, your tool won't fail you but you can fail it!
