    Quit Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has many causes and manifests differently for everyone. Whatever form it takes, the sufferer has a collection of symptoms. The symptoms are not the same for everyone and can vary from person to person both in type and severity. https://quitchronicfatigue.com/

  4. Betsy started following regaining after sleeve
  5. Betsy
    I am almost 3 years out and starting to regain too. It is completely emotional eating that I am trying to get under control. The pandemic certainly isn’t helping. I have been to a therapist a while ago to help which only helped a little bit. It is very depressing when it starts to come back. It’s figuring out the triggers that’s the difficult thing to do. It’s the mindless eating. it makes me so mad at me when I get on the scale and the numbers are going in the wrong direction. I try to blame to scale sometimes. :)

    I can suggest that your husband join the OCC forum and we also have several Facebook support groups. He can sort of stay in the background and observe other OCC patients with their journey and it could make him more on board. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1033707290046323/

    Have you tried the Sleeve rescue diet? There's also another option, the Sleeve revision surgery that's offered by the OCC.

    Did you have your surgery? I’m 8 years out and gaining too. Desperate to get it under control
  28. Leahb
    Did you travel to get the surgery? If so, how far? I’m regaining at 9 years. Depressing.

    The OCC has a post op schedule they follow. Your OCC surgery coordinator should be able to answer all your questions. I personally can't answer that question, but I can guess, I''m trying to remember mine, I'm thinking it was 3 days after surgery your on the way home. Call 1-866-893-8005 and talk to an OCC surgery coordinator.

    I had a band in Dec and gas pain for 12 days after surgery!!!! still get it whenever I eat too big a bite or dont chew enough but only for about 5 mins but its excruciating all around left shoulder and up my neck. Kind of saw it as a good sign I needed to slow down as was getting complacent. Since 2nd fill beg of March it's been much more constant even overnight or 1st thing in morning. Gotta wrap left arm around right shoulder like a straight jacket to get any relief. Have a massage booked today to see if there's a pocket of gas trapped somewhere but will def think about vitamin and water intake as prob not getting enough of either.

    Your recovery is the same as the first time. It is a higher risk surgery but they do a great job as you know. Mine was a 10 year revision and repair. Phil

    Hey guys! I am 3 years post op from my sleeve surgery. I originally lost 117 lbs however last year I had a baby and during my pregnancy I gained about 50 lbs. I have been unable to lose it back off. My questions are: Has anyone had the Sleeve Rescue surgery or any type of revision? What was your experience? Wait time? Consultation? Actual surgery? Recovery? Etc. Has anyone else not had it but considering it? If so, what are your thoughts?

    Scheduled for March 9th!

    Thank you - yes, I drink my calories. I love coke. I hadn't heard of Bariatricpal, so I'll look it up. Thank you.

    My sister (who had sx in the states) mentioned gaining about 40 pounds back from her lowest weight, and she is about 5 years out. Honestly, I think a lot of those pounds came back from alcohol. She isn't a big drinker, but those are empty carbs and sugars and even a few drinks every weekend can make a difference. I do believe that in becoming obese, we were "feeding" an emotional void. Just because we lose the excess weight and feel better about ourselves...that doesn't fill that void. I know personally, that seeing a counselor to address eating triggers and stressors, is a MUST for me. The sx will help me lose the weight, but I didn't become obese overnight - it took years of me overeating/eating the wrong things to get like this because of past emotional traumas. I made me obese. So I personally think that expecting to keep the weight off is futile unless I address those issues during and after my weightloss. Just my opinion It sounds like the surgery worked for you, but surgery alone wasn't enough (it isn't for MOST of us!). Instead of beating yourself up, talk to someone. Get on the Bariatricpal forums. You have nothing to be ashamed of - the fact that you want to fix this is already a step in the right direction!

    How far out are you from your surgery date?
  44. Chynna
    Who all out here is scheduled for surgery in February/March 2020? Are you excited, nervous and overwhelmed all at the same time? I know I am. This pre-op diet is rough. I am very determined to get through this to change my life permanently!

    Hello, Has anyone else regained a lot back after their sleeve surgery? I did, and I feel terrible about myself for not following the post-op instructions better.

    Yes, there's only one airport. If your going with the OCC, go with what your surgery coordinator recommends. The surgery is easy peasy. No need for extra days.
