Re-sleeve with Dr. Almanza

I have not posted here in an extremely long time due to shame and the feeling of being a looser. But I am back and would like some input regarding my VSG revision surgery with Dr. Almanza.
I had my surgery with Dr. Almanza May 19th and am unsure whether being re-sleeved was worth it. I have very little restriction when compared to the first time, my recovery time has been extremely fast, and I dont know how to tell how to tell how much of my stretched out stomach was sleeved.
I have requested copies of my surgical report from Almanza but he has not gotten it to me yet. I do have a Xray which I can compare to my to my stretched out, original VSG .
Any input or ideas are very welcomed.
How stretched out was it? Did he not recommend adding the DS switch to your surgery or were you against a mal-absorption surgery? I know he talks about re-sleeving people that the original wasn't shaped properly. Did someone else do the original? Did you figure out why it stretched in the first place.
