Hi everyone, I am 2 1/2 years post op and I've gained 35 lbs. I'm getting married in June and instead of losing weight I keep gaining. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone know how what stage should do start on so I can shrink my stomach again? Any info would be appreciated.

I have found that if I do 3 days of just Protein shakes it really helps get my restriction back. After that, I try to do one day a week with just Protein Shakes to keep my restriction tight. Not for everyone, but it works for me.

That might be a way to kickstart yourself. Good luck to you and congratulations!

I got married October 2013 and the year leading up to it was so stressful. I think that had a LOT to do with my 30lb weight gain. I had not been sleeved until after the wedding, but just wanted to share with you that I truly think the stress did it to me. I know you probably dont have much extra time to exercise and workout because you are probably super busy. My suggetion to you is to try to do a liquid diet for 3 or 4 days to restrict your stomach some and then do low/no carb for the time remaining up until your wedding. I tried that before and was able to drop 40lbs in about 2-3 months (before my sleeve). I would have fruit for Breakfast and then just eat meat and veggies the rest of the day. I'm not sure how much time you have until your wedding, but best of luck to you and congrats!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
