I was sleeved feb2013 my weightloss stopped early on

[kathyhall 1]

Am so aggravated I have done all I can do I still have only lost 65 since surgery. Low carb low calorie I used my fitness pall for months and gave up. My surgeon said I had slight dilation upper stomach and I complained and said I want a revision he was rude blamed me for eating more calories when I keep very low below 800most days. My weight loss came to a halt 5 months out. The surgeon is a douche and even though I still have high blood pressure and sleep apnea he says another surgery isn't medically necessary. It pissed me off because it is medically necessary I hardly had restriction early on it is like my surgeon just doesn't care because they have never had to do a sleeve revision. I saw the dietician once I started gaining weight back and she couldn't figure out why I was not losing or gaining. So I give up seriously I give it to God if he wants me to be obese let it be his will sw 365 cw 300 to 306 it goes up and down all the time. Please don't give me a lecture about carbs calorie cardio I have heard it all. Sigh just want to be heard!

She says in the title of the post that she was sleeved, I am not sure if this is a revision from a previous band or not?

I'm gastric sleeve not lap band no revision as in a re sleeve or gastric bypass or DS

Maybe you could seek advice from another doc and get a second opinion regarding your sleeve and whether a revision is indicated?

I am sure you must be very frustrated.

I hear you. We all do. Really we do. And although you didn't ask for advice, please take this in the manner in which it is intended. Start tracking everything again so that you have a recent record of what you are consuming and then get a second opinion. You never know, it may bring you new possibilities, options, or at least peace of some kind. Good luck!

you need a second opinion with different surgeon and a stomach xray to see what is happening with your sleeve. this would be considered a failure of the procedure, so insurance should pay for it no problem.

[kathyhall 1]

Thank you all I do need a second opinion.

Have you had your hormones checked? Maybe it could be your thyroid? I had my surgery in Dec2012 and came to a halt just like you, then went to my primary and got my hormones back on track and I am losing again. Couldn't hurt to give it a try.

[kathyhall 1]

Had my thyroid checked but sure I can ask my doctor if she has any other my Vitamin D is always low first time it was a 13 second time a 21. Can't hurt to try. Thank you:)

Never ever give up! You do not want to regain the weight you lost. Keep working to maintain and lose. You really can do it!

[kathyhall 1]

I am continuously regaining 5 to 10 pounds that is part of the problem also lack of restriction and way to hungry most days.

i understand where your at mentally. i am having the same problem. i lost a big deal quickly then it stopped. my food count was off and i wasnt eatting what i was suppose to. i have been using fitnesspal but it still seems like im not going anywhere. I have been trying to get back on track but idk ive gone back to being vegitarian and eatting high Protein foods but im not loosing weight. I gained 6lbs back but still havent been able to get them off again. Ive been going to the trainer so my surgeon just says its muscle but reallly??? i dont think so :/
