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?

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!
I haven't been here on OH in forever, or so it seems. I had my VSG March 2015. Went from 269 to 172 and felt great. Over the years since then, I regained, as most of us do, up to about 212. Really mad at myself. Started back on some basics such as recording all meals, etc and being very concientious of carbs. Never lost sight of that. Asked my doctor if she thought that a person's body could have a "set" weight that the body was comfortable in and "fought" to stay around that weight. She said most definitely. Well, I did get down to about 190 and stuck..... She put me on something to give me a boost and get body weight moving again. I am now down to 174 and hanging in there. Anyway, I am one of those that developed the runny nose symtom after eating anything. It has been almost 10 years, and still having the runny nose. I never found out why that happens. Anyone out there have any ideas on the subject? Is there any "old timers" still around? There used to be a great large group but I don't know if they have gone on the wayside like I did.. If so, hello and say hello back..

(I don't have any widget like I used to but maybe will try to stay around for awhile and make up a new one. I never met my goal weight of 155 but working on it...)
I have utilized protein powders that had expired, contrary to what you advised, unless it had been a year or longer.
Thanks for the update. I know a few people who have been on Semaglutide, and all are doing well. I know there's controversy surrounding weight loss meds. But the bottom line is, do what works.
