Afraid to stretch my stomach



Recommended Posts

I am 4 years post op from LapBand surgery and am currently in the process of getting a revision to gastric sleeve. I am fearful however about stretching my stomach back out. I see some people on my 600lb life and YouTube who had the sleeve and then streched there stomach back out. How do I make sure that I dont do that? I simply cannot fail this time around.

You can't stretch a properly formed sleeve, so if you have a good Dr you don't have to worry about a stretched sleeve.

Most people on 600 lb life have RNY and those pouches can stretch and some times people also make another stomach at the top of their intestines.

The people on 600 pounds life don't have stretched stomach. They graze and eat sliders all day. You can watch them from the very beginning eating trash. They are sever food addicts and will do anything to eat, even ignoring their surgery and restriction.

If you weigh and measure your food and eat your proper portions you never have to worry about over eating or stretching anything.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
