I have been sleeved in mexico and I know that if I wasn't loosing I could go back and they would tighten me up for free I would just have to pay hotel and airfare. The office has already done this for the plicators.

Wow I hadn't even thought of that. Thats considerable! I mostly thought down the line if I had to I could revise to RnY or DS... however just to have my sleeve re-done would be ideal!

Good luck in your research, I'm not sure who does do this.

Wow, I have not heard of a re-sleeve surgery. Why do they do that? Does the stomach stretch out so much that you would need it done again? I sure don't want to go through this again. Guess I better be really careful not to stretch out my sleeve?

It takes a long time for the stomach to be streched, but its definetly possible. Its actually more likely that the first time they did the surgery they used a very big buggie for the sleeve.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
