Hello

I just posted something about this but the more i do research, the more I am freaking out...I meat my surgeon today. I am 1.5 months out. He said that he used a 60 bougie on me, that my stomach shoul hold 9-10 oz and that he took off 75% of my stomach. the thing is, people keep telling me that because my sleeve is ''bigger'' i will regain a lot of weight 3-5 years out :( i cant beleive this. This cant be right. People say they used 60 bougies back in 2000...wtf.

i am so sad and confused.

My surgeon is the head of a renowned hospital in my city (canada) and he has done tons of sleeves!

please help me :(

Their experience doesn't define yours. It is up to all of us to maintain a healthy body with nutrition and exercise. Our sleeves are only a tool to help us get there. They may not have used it wisely. Best wishes :)

Hi.. I'm just starting my process on trying 2 get approved for the sleeve.., but, seems 2 me that others have experienced different reactions to the surgery.? I would talk 2 ur Dr. If I were you. But, try 2 stay healthy by excercising and eating right. So, the pounds won't come back. Good luck

The sleeve is just a tool... and as BB stated... its all about utilizing the tool to its fullest... eating RIGHT and MOVING DAILY... you will lose it... and hopefully keep it off...I'm 7 mths out... and am losing slowly... but I am NOT gaining... the weight IS coming off... and I plan for it to stay off for good...
