Thinking about Gastric sleeve revision



Recommended Posts

So I Had My Gastric Sleeve Done IN June Of 2013 I STARTED Out At 327 An Got Down To 244 AS Of March 2014. I was hitting many obstacles an had a injury at work which made it to were i couldn't work out. I had many stalls an no longer loose weight an actually started gaining an now up to 271. After talking to my husband i sometimes think i never got the sleeve done the reason being is comparing everything to his. I never had the dye test done an wasn't loosing weight good. I was pretty much starving myself an was hungry all the time an even now when i eat i can eat a normal meal like someone that hasn't had it done. I emailed the doctors office that performed it because i now want some type of proof it was done. If it was done i wanna no why he left my sleeve big enough for me to not be able to get great weight loss like others an why did i not have the dye test done or they never called me for follow ups. Has anyone had anything simular like this happen to them an reconsidering a revision?

I'm not sure that all VSG patients get a leak test. If I had one, it would have to have been while I was still unconscious.

Are you saying that your surgeon has never seen you for a follow-up since your surgery? I think most of them schedule several during the first year. If you did see the surgeon during your first year, did you discuss your rate of weight loss? It seems like you lost an acceptable amount during the first year, 83 pounds, so your sleeve was probably working during that time. But you should definitely go back to your surgeon and talk about where you are today and what you need to do for the future.
