Revision after Pregnancy



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I had a healthy babygirl in October. I have been breastfeeding and I have gained so much weight POST PARTUM. During my pregnancy I only gained 11 pounds (baby was nearly 6) so really only 5 pounds I was back to prepregnancy weight 5 days after being discharged from the hospiatal. I have since gained 15 pounds. My question is has anyone had a sleeve revision post partum? I am looking for real expectiations before I make an appointment with a surgeon. I am near the end of my breastfeeding journey (not by choice).

Congratulations! You've only gained 15-20 pds. Have you considered going back to the pre-op diet for a while? Perhaps that will help.

Good luck!

I had my son in June of 3014 and I feel like I have no restriction at this point. I went from 147lbs to 222lbs and I'm sitting at 186lbs for about a year now. Any advice?

My baby girl will be 1 this Friday and I gained 30 baby was 7lbs 7oz but by 1 month postpartum I was down to my pre pregnancy weight. I have since put on 10lbs and I'm in the process of getting my revision approved. I too am at the end of my breastfeeding journey and not by choice either.

You can look up the 5 day pouch reset basically you go on the liquids again go rest your pouch and shrink it again if you feel it has gotten bigger

I am opposite. Had the sleeve 3 years ago. Just had a baby and have lost all my pregnancy weight in 5 weeks(30 pounds). I can't eat solids at all absolutely liquids even hurt. Wasn't this way during pregnancy just after. I'm wondering if my pregnant hurt my sleeve. Trying to get ahold of the doctor.

The pouch reset diet is a fad diet. It does NOT shrink your pouch. It is better for your metabolism to stay away from yo-yo dieting. Instead, eat dense Protein first then vegetables. Also, weigh your food, track it, minimize grazing/snacking, don't drink your calories, and stay away from processed food & artificial sweeteners.

Do you think it could be a hernia? I saw lady on yt with same issue and that's what it was.

Did everyone loose all restriction after pregnancy? Did restriction return for anyone? How was restriction during pregnancy?

I'm in the same boat! I had my lap band in 2008 when I was 16 and since have had two kids (3.5 and 7 months) since then. I'm getting the band out and the sleeve done on Tuesday! During my first pregnancy I gained 70 pounds because my dr recommend I take most of the saline out of the band. I couldn't loose it after no matter what I did. With my second I only gained 20 and have lost 15 of it. And I still plan on having more kids.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
