Someone asked me if you can gain all your weight back from the sleeve anyone know

I don't know anyone who has from the sleeve. I know one person who had a gastric bypass who managed to put it all back on. A little harder with the sleeve, it doesn't stretch much.

That's what I thought also.

Yes I know someone who did. Although the volume of our tummys is drastically smaller, a person can still continue a high calori diet.the person i know drinks alcohol excessively and eats high fat/calorie foods

Yes, it is possible, if you do not follow an appropriate eating and exercise plan after surgery, and a maintenance plan once you are at your goal weight. If you go back to eating the way you did before surgery, you will stretch out your sleeve and gain your weight back. Your stomach won't stretch back to it's original size before surgery, but it can stretch to the point where it is no longer restricting your food intake and you stop loosing weight and start gaining. The sleeve is only a tool for weight loss, not a magic cure. You have to do your part of living a healthy lifestyle as far as food and exercise goes to maintain your weight loss.

If you eat crap food everyday, all day, and don't follow the Protein, veggies, fruits etc. If you started to do that,you'd probably gain it all back even without stretching your sleeve

Good article! During my bariatric process it was said repeatedly that we need to measure our food for the rest of our lives to avoid overeating, and train ourselves mentally to eat smaller portions, even if we found we could eat more.

My friend had the sleeve done 2 years ago and gained all her weight back.
