Why does the sleeve fail?

[beeteroo 166]

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.
