You may need to try to find a great gastro or a great bariatric surgeon that may help you.
Having VSG and gastroparesis may cause number of issues you are dealing with.
Some people get converted to RNY type procedure to (removing pyloric valve) to help with stomach - sleeve emptying.
I had RNY but I deal with small intestines low motility, and it could be a challenge. Right now (last few weeks) I have been issues with food not going through, just staying in my intestines, and causing severe headaches. I would eat for 1-2 days, then next I try to get my bowels to move, just drinking liquids, taking things to make things move along.
I have IBS-C and I had that before my WLS surgery, but it was noting compared to what I deal with after the RNY.
Maybe some nerves had been cut, or something got messed up due to multiple abdominal surgeries I had since RNY, or my SIBO and Candida got really out of control.

He is so booked up....my consult is not until March 2022!!! so excited though.
thank you for your reply...i just saw this now. I know alcohol is my problem and lack of exercise. i am just not motivated. Working at home, i live in gap sweat shorts. no reason to wear my cute work clothes, do my makeup or hair. i am trying to climb out of my rabbit hole and it is so hard!
Good Morning!
I made this video to explain why crafting a Gastric Sleeve is an Art, and how every sleeve is different depending on the surgeon.

I lost my family too... brother, mom and dad. That is why I have been drinking. Oh man, and the sleep issues are horrible!!!! Sounds like our experiences are parallel and I need to just power through it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I hope we both get back down our "normal" weight! I'm sorry for your losses too!
