It's been a long time since I was last here...

I also had the sleeve in 2011. Lost 130 and did well for years and then it started to creep back and now I am about 37 pounds over ideal. I have been on WW and have tracked and what I have found is that I am having a very hard time losing any little bit. It is coming off so very slowly or I play around with up two down two. Weekends are hard with routines off and I think being 66 now, may make it a little more difficult. I desperately want to get rid of those pounds and won't give up but I hear you and wish you luck....it has been a very long time since I have been on here also....great support from everyone!

Hello to everyone that responded to my post. Its' been a long (almost) a year since I made that post. I have been in the hospital with Pnuemonia and then found out while I was there I had a mild dose of Covid19. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU GET A "MILD" DOSE OF COVID19!!!? That still confuses the hell out of me but hey...I guess it is what it is. I was on O2 for almost 6 months after I got out of the hospital so that didn't help the weight issue any either. How the hell do you stay healthy when all this crap is going on? Any thoughts?? I'm out of ideas...

That being said, I have decided to have a revision of my sleeve. On September 3, I will have a SADI-S or the DS surgery to get back on track. 40 pounds and I'll be right back at my pre-surgery weight from 2011!! OH HELL NO!!! That is not happening. I'll be more visible on this site now that this is happening and I'm going to stay on! Wish me luck and if you need me outside this site, you all can email me at [email protected].

Love you all!

I hope you are feeling better and best of luck with your revision. I am not sure what SAD1-S or Ds means though.... I may have to look into a revision of some sort also if I cannot get this weight off. Prayers all goes well.

Hi - Those are revision surgeries to a Gastric Sleeve or in conjunction to the Sleeve surgery. I have been doing so much research on which would be better (SADI-S or DS (Duodenal Switch), I was looking for some guidance on the pros and cons. I think I have all the information I need but my final talk will be with my surgeon the day before/day of surgery to decide which would be best for me.

Wish me luck...
