Gaining weight after almost 2 years.. NEED HELP!!

[gomezk2 24]

I was sleeved on may 2015 with a low bmi of 31. Im male 6"1 and was 230 pounds. I went down to as low as 177.. i had maintained a very balanced weight approach of 180-182 throughout time but since october of this past year the weight has slowly gone back up and im going insane because i dont know what is happening. I have gained 12 pounds now and have gotten alot of testing done to see if there are any abnormalities with the sleeve pouch itself and all has come back normal. The only minor thing that was found was a slight dilation but it is minimal so i dont think that it has to do with the weight gain. I drink plenty of Water daily, consume Protein ranging from 100-125 grams daily along with exercise as well. Not taking any medication that could trigger weight gain. My surgeon is lost in words and doesnt know why or what is triggering this weight gain. Dont know if any sleevers out there have similar experiences but i would appreciate all the feedback from everyone. This is truly stressful and i just want to go back to how things were not to long ago. I am aware that im almost 2 yrs out but is not to the point where i should be having issues or complications with the sleeve soo soon.

Can I ask why on earth you were sleeved to start with? My hubby is also 6'1" and 230#. I know he wouldn't ever consider surgery for weigh loss. Not judging. Just curious.

I'm a newbie but at our support group meeting a woman that had gained a lot of weight back was told to reset the pouch. Which I understood was to start the liquid diet all over and progress to solids as you did after surgery. I did one week of liquid only pre-op and it wasn't bad. Maybe consider that? [emoji16] good luck... don't get so down on yourself

I was sleeved because i had a band slippage which also was causing other issues at the same time.
