Why does the sleeve fail?



Recommended Posts

Mine worked for about a year and then I went crazy. I had an extreme amount of stress and was always a stress eater; I overate. After the sleeve I could no longer eat large portions but I could eat anything. Nothing made me sick or disagreed with my sleeve. I began eating entire bags of candy in a day mutliple times per week. I gained back 65% of my weight in a year. My sleeve was done becuase I was too high risk for the RNY and he did not think I could lose all 300 lbs with one suregery anyway. I was always to have a second surgery but with the gain, I had no choice, there was just an added element of embarassment. It boils down to not following the rules. For the first year, I was vigilant and tracked everything and then it all went out the window. I have now been revised to the RNY and hope to have dumping syndrome (but do not intend to test it). I beleive I have learned from my mistakes and now know how serious my sugar/junk addition really is. I can NEVER touch those things again. I also must "diet" for life and track my food.< /p>

Thanks for sharing your experience. It makes me realize the importance of working on the reasons why I eat the wrong things.

I to have been getting worried about this issue. I've lost about 80 lbs and the last few months I haven't really been trying to keep a good nutritional diet. I have been eating sweets where it made me sick. I get confused at times I can eat one whole taco and sometimes I can't. It always causes discomfort but sometimes I just get tired of the pain I stop eating. I need to get a grip of the sweets cause I am getting out of hand. I love to eat chips with dip and carbs. I am really crazy about any type of nuts. My thing is I didn't want to loose as much as I already have so I guess that's what has me torn up or confused on what to do. I don't take my Vitamins like I should and the Protein Shakes I don't really drink anymore. I'm just doing really bad now that I think more about it. I Don't drink enough Water. I need to get in track.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
