I am hoping this video will post. If not, it is Slimmfast's latest video on YouTube. She had her surgery done by Dr. Kelly, but is now following up at a bariatric clinic in the states. She's 5 months out and has some good info. Thanks for reading!!

Wow! Great video, I did not believe you could stretch your stomach back out from a sleeve! Of well, more incentive to be good!!

I know I'm a newbie here, but this woman's story is a catalog of everything my surgeon told me not to do. An object lesson for us all, I suppose.

That made me sad! I went to Dr Kelly a month after her and watched all her videos before my surgery. I'm sorry that she is struggling. She is such a beautiful girl. I can't wait until her next check in. I bet she will do great.

From everything I've read, your stomach can never stretch out to the same size it was. Her example from her doctor must be an anomaly.

I would really like to know if this is true or not.

i have heard others say that it is possible if a person constantly overeats. it's a lot harder to do than with other weight loss surgeries, though. i am going to be careful and play it safe. :)

No friggen way it can stretch out to normal size. I believe you can eat around the sleeve, but stretching from 4-6 oz to ONE QUART???!!! Right. I have read studies that show after 5 years it can stretch to 8oz. We are talking sleeve here and not pouch. That was a scare tactic. She needed it though. VERY irresponsible. She is doing the opposite of what she should be doing. I have to ask WHY? She is not "struggling." She wasn't even trying by her own admission. It almost seemed like self-sabotage, but with a lackadaisical attitude.

Just continue to measure food, eat high Protein, lower carb, no sugar, alcohol as a seldom treat. Why go through all that just to ---- it up?

I do xrays for a living and I have seen my own xray post sleeve. The staples are SOOOOO very tiny that even with my trained eyes who have looked at xrays for over 20 years now could barely find them on myself when I knew where to look. I also know that from a plain xray the Dr. would not be able to tell the size or shape of her stomach unless he had her drink some sort of contrast. Who knows... maybe her new Dr. is F-O-S, there are plenty of Dr's out there who are, or just plain mis-informed.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
