bettyanne6249 50 Posted September 2, 2012 Does anyone know who is more likely to gain weight back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted September 2, 2012 RNY. Because the portion of the stomach they use to make the pouch is the elastic part & is easily stretched back out. Also the pouch still produces ghrelin (the hunger hormone). The sleeve is made up of the tougher , more muscular portion of the stomach and is nearly impossible to stretch. And most of the ghrelin production is stopped( there is debate over if it returns & to what degree). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bettyanne6249 50 Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks! I was wondering because most weight gain stories I've heard are those who have had the RNY. Glad I got the sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
