Hello everyone,

I had sleeve gastrectomy sleeve more than six years ago with 308 pounds. I managed to lose 130 pounds but it was a real challenge to stay at that weight. I had to follow strict diets and heavily exercise just to remain as it is which was already too much for me. During these quarantine times I had to gave up the exercise and let myself eat more freely. Which led a rapid weight gain and I decided to get a revision surgery. My stomach wasn't stretch so my doctor didn't re-sleeved it during the revision surgery to duodenal switch. It has been 10 days and I'm still on my liquid diet and I'm hungry. After my first surgery I had no appetite for months. But this time i have my appetite with all its might and this really scares me. Is not re-sleeving a common practice? Are there any people like me, if there is how was their process? Because I'm really afraid that I might not lose any weight.

I am very healthy 10 years after surgery. I watch my vitamins and supplement intakes and eat what I should and life is goo.

I also think it may be HOW you are hurting. What products were used? I haven't had plastic surgery yet but I have researched it a lot... I asked a few of the surgeons what they use internally and a couple stated surgical glue and others stated nylon threads. I know for a fact that my body is sensitive to certain adhesives and I am fairly certain I won't do well with the nylon threads. So, it may just take longer for your body to heal as I have heard that it can take up to a year as well to "feel normal".

Maybe suggest seeing your primary doctor to get the second opinion to make sure there are no infections?

Hoping you feel better soon.

All I can say is No more alcohol for me...and Damn about that

Thank you everyone! My surgery was canceled due to the Covid-19 but was just rescheduled for July 22. I'm super excited and super nervous!
I hope everyone is staying safe during this time!
I can't wait to be happy and healthy again!
I have read and appreciate all of your replies! Hope to hear more stories and experiences with the DS! This is so informative for me!
