SexySlim, I live in Landover, MD too!!! So exciting to find a neighbor on these site I will be sleeved on April 11 by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, Mexico. I would like to stay in contact with you. It would be nice to share our experiences and perhaps even do a workout together one day. Hope your recovery is going well.

I thought that's how the stomach is supposed to look after the surgery

Well I'm almost 6 feet tall, I think that's why mine is so long. And it would take A LOT of food to pack it LOL!

Well basically it is having the sleeve done all over again. I have been talking with a doctor in mexico about having it done and he suggested i might want to consider gastric bypass. I have never even thought about having the bypass done, not even at my heaviest weight. I have a low bmi since i lost a lot of weight with the lapband so im scared to do it but im slowly gaining back the weight. Have any of you known anyone with a low bmi get the gastric bypass????

I wouldn't do gastric bypass I have heard there is a lot of problems with it

[shaundra 5]

i have never considered bypass but after 3 surgeries i have to keep my mind and options open. i have mailed cd's with my recent upper GI to several doctors. now im just waiting to see what my options are.

Shaundra, if you have a sleeve that didn't work for you, have you considered the duodenal switch? It's usually the last resort if the sleeve doesn't work. I know you are already lower BMI but if you are going to have a surgery again, just be smart about it. The DS has a higher success of keeping the weight off long term over the gastric bypass. Please just discuss this with the surgeon as an option. The re-sleeve might work, I have no idea. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
