Please read Food Junkies by Dr. Vera Tarman before you do a revision - IMHO the issue is sugar, processed foods and possibly sugar/food addiction. I regained and lost and regained a few times very quickly after surgery because I had not addressed the underlying issue of sugar addiction - it wasn't a thing back in 2011 but now it is becoming more in the main stream. Once I read the book and recognized myself I went sugar and grain free. It took a bit of time to get completely abstinent but I am now 3 years SFGF and have lost all my excess weight an maintain without effort. I am a senior so this is saying a lot. I do protein first for every meal and small amount of low carb veggies and a small amount of fruit a day. I do not feel deprived but it is a definite mind shift - I took it a day at a time and sometimes a meal at a time. Looking for another medical intervention with not help you if ultimately you are a processed food and sugar junkie.

Your restriction is probably still there but you need to change your diet to cut out sugar and processed food. Stick to protein first and then add some veg and small amounts of fruit. Crap food goes through your system quickly and makes your hungry so you eat more. If you go back to a clean diet you will notice that within a few weeks the amount you can eat ,if you do protein first for every meal, reduces. I regained after my surgery a couple of times but now I stick to a low carb, no sugar no flour diet and my restriction is as good as it was on day 1. I can only eat 2-3 ounces of dense protein at a time and I will add a small portion of veggies. I realized late in the game that I was addicted to sugar and then read Food Junkies by Dr. Vera Tarman about food/sugar addiction which wasn't recognized when I had surgery. I have lost all excess weight and maintain easily. So many other benefits as well. There is a lot of info on sugar addiction out there now. I have been SFGF for 3 years now and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. If this info had been around when I had surgery, I might not have needed it but many bariatric surgery patients now do SFGF.

I haven't heard of anything like that if you do, let me know I'm from Oregon and thinking about getting the duo Dental or something RNY I'm just not sure yet. I'm in the same boat as you I had surgery in 2010 sleeve and just the past couple years been in it all back I feel like I've stretched my sleeve that I can eat anything thinking about trying to go back to the beginning on the diet, but haven't done it yet have you do you think it could be done to shrink sleep and lose weight again?
Hi everyone
It's been almost 15years ago since I got my surgery in Tijuana Mx, and I got down to 130 from 240 and I kept the weight off for several years till Covid and family problems and depression got the best of me and I gained most of my weight back really fast I also have a sweet tooth and love to eat at night
I weigh 210 now and I'm pretty sure I stretched my sleeve out
my question is there anyone on here that knows if it's possible to tighten my sleeve back up or have lost weight once gaining it back?
Thank you!
You seem to have covered a wide range of subjects, including employment drug testing, herbal essence dye, and VSG conversations. Seeing how these topics relate to or impact one another would be fascinating!
When I had RNY the surgeon cut the vagus nerve. The result is little appetite and runny nose when eating.

No idea. Pavlovian response?

Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.

sometimes (like tonight for instance) my nose will start running as I prep food. Didn't have a full stomach for sure. So???
The runny nose is an issue with the vagus nerve. It doesn't happen often, but whenever I eat too much, my nose starts running. It's actually a pretty good reminder.

I also gained and started ozempic and now wegovy. I weigh 20 pounds less than my lowest after gastric bypass. It works, the doctor who did my surgery 13 years ago recommended it. Good luck!
