There is the three week stall that usually happens three weeks post op, but sometimes it might be a little longer.

What does your daily menu look like? Are you drinking plenty of water?

Thank u so much... I have none in my life that knows what i am gookg thru ... this has really helped

1. Hi everyone .... I m very new I am usually the person just reading everyone else's story and never commenting well I had the lap band back in 2012 got down to my lowest weight of 240 my band slipped in 2016 and started gaining pounds from then I got back up to 303 recently got the gastric sleeve on July 23rd 2018 and I'm at 267 ... my problem is I'm stuck im not losing weight for the past 2 weeks I have been at the same size and I have no one to talk to about it... I feel so discouraged I don't know what to do... I am eating healthy and exercising 4 to 5 times out the week ... can someone give me some incentive on what is happening.....

I took Abilify before my gastric surgeries. I grazed quite a bit and gained some weight while taking it. (I haven't taken it for a few years.) I had my sleeve converted to a bypass. I had horrible GERD and was choking on bile a few times a night. My prescription meds for GERD were of no use. My new surgeon had me do a barium swallow and said the revision would take away the GERD (which it did). I had to lose 12 pounds before surgery and work with a nutritionist for six months, but it was worth it! I lost 29 pounds prior to my revision and have had no GERD. I know finding a good doctor is tough, but don't settle with someone who isn't a good fit. It's very frustrating to seek help and have doctors who aren't receptive.

You were also on Abilify?? I was in the pills then the shot for about 9months and I could not stop eating, grazing all day and night. I haven't had a scope yet but I can't get full anymore so I'm assuming my stoma is stretched out. Very angry at my psychiatrist who should have known better than to give me a pill with compulsive eating as a side affect.

what kind of revision did you have? I had my surgery in California and now I live across the country so I never had any follow up with my original surgeon. I was doing great til this past year. I do yoga and cardio religiously, follow my rules take my supplements, and I have to starve myself to lose a pound. It's so frustrating to basically be back where I started. The bariatric surgeon here has yet to call me back so I can make an appt, they want my original records which no one can seem to find as the hospital was bought out. I just want to do something ASAP before my self esteem goes further down.
