Hello,
I am getting a revision from band to sleeve on July 16th. I had the same issue I never really lost from surgery and can eat anything with no restriction
I had the same question. I found this on line. It was encouraging:

All airplanes carry a seat belt extender so you should be fine either way. I am flying next month and I'm currently 301 last time I flew I was slightly heavier and didn't have to use one and that was a big goal for me...fingers crossed I don't need one this time.
Remember there are people that fly that are much larger then us. Defiantly request a window seat as you should get slightly more room
Just wondering what the stats where for people who gain at least half or more back. I'm diligent about never gaining back any.

My doctor told me that many people have trouble maintaining long term because they slip back into their old habits. People tend to forget that this is a LIFE-LONG commitment, not a quick fix. If you continue to follow the instructions given to you by your doctor, take your vitamins daily, and follow up with your doctor at least once a year you should be fine. Follow ALL instructions given to you by your doctor no matter how silly they may seem. Try to maintain a good support system. If you have any concerns or fears that you may be sliding backwards, contact your doctor. Remember, "VICTORY STARTS HERE", with you and your commitment. Maintain your commitment and you will maintain your success.
Someone told me yesterday that the majority of people regain their weight back after weight loss surgery? Is this true? Why?

Hello,
i've just recently moved to the area and have been strongly considering going down south for bariatric surgery. I don't know many people up here, and was wondering if others who were considering this method would like to create a small support group, perhaps get to know each other and travel together? Not sure if anyone would be interested in this, but i figure its worth a shot, and better then having to tackle this alone.
I have heard that some of the patient in the weight Wise clinic from gone from sleeves to by pass but that have all be at higher weights and used the sleeve as a 1st step in their weight loss journey.
As for feeling full after surgery your story is the 1st I've heard of. I am almost 4 years out and if I over eat it's coming back up. Slider foods like soup broth, ice cream and cheeses/rice cakes I can eat a lot of but as for meat still around 4 oz, veggies 1 cup fruit 1 cup. There is a 5 day pouch test on line that you can do to get back on track. I'd say try it and get back to basic. Also maybe try a program like my fitness pal to see how many calories you should be eating and how many you are accuatlly comsuming daily. This program for me keeps me accountable. See how that goes before you think of having another surgery.
Good Luck.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010
Depending on where you carry most of your weight you might need to request a set belt extended. As for not fitting I'd say don't worry about it, you will be fine. I always asked for a window seat so I would hve that little extra room and was able to lean on the window so I wouldn't be too close to the person next to me. A lot of time there isn't anyone sitting in the middle seat so that could give you extra room as well. Don't let your weight stop you from living. Go and enjoy your trip

I am 295 pounds( 5 foot 4 inches) and am supposed to fly to Europe next month. I am petrified to the point that I am thinking about cancelling my trip. I am so scared that I won't fit in the seats on the plane.
Anyone flown on an overseas flight when they were quite overweight? Should I be afraid? Please be honest. I am so anxious about this. I hate flying at the best of times but with this fear of not fitting into a seat .....I am so afraid.
