Welcome back! I don't have an answer for your question but want to wish you luck on your journey. Regain is a big challenge and while I'm still in the honeymoon phase after surgery, I've lost and regained more pounds than I'd like to admit and understand the feeling when it happens. I hope you get what you need!

just to respond to one of your comments: yes - the forum is definitely much quieter than it used to be. That seems to be true of a lot of internet forums, though. I think more people are turning to Facebook groups these days, which is unfortunate because there's a lot of crappy information out there. I've stuck with OH because it's always been super helpful and a great resource.

Hi there.
I have a VSG in 2012 and did quiet well until 2018 (gained 15-20lbs) by the end of this period. Then 2020, Covid, working from home and multiple family deaths. The has seen another 40lbs gained. The self loathing has taken hold and I need to do something now.
I have been off of the forum for some time. Seems the website is much quieter than it was ten years ago.
I had my VSG surgery done by Dr. Alberto Aceves but he has since passed away. Who is the leading revision surgeon in Mexico these days? Thank you

Me neither, but it did and it can.
Looked up fibrin obstruction. Didn't know it could happen.
Thank you for your suggestions and yes, I like Tofu, have tried adding all types of proteins and have consulted a specialist, and my bariatric surgeon ... we are hopefully on a road to recovery and solution as he was performing the procedure to give me a G-tube into my resting stomach; he observed a Fibrine obstructing (wrapped around) a good portion of gut/intestines; and in positive hopeful theory; causing the mal-absorption/malnutrition ... we shall see and I will keep all posted.
Maybe see if hydrolyzed protein (there may be some shakes or powder for that) or adding protein digestive enzymes during meals helps.
I wonder if getting more of your protein from vegetable sources might help. Do you like tofu? It can be seasoned numerous ways.
Consulting with a registered dietitian with bariatric experience could be helpful.
What surgeon did you have?
dr. Ungson
