  1. I had sleeve surgery almost 3 yrs. ago and have gained back a little over 60 lbs. in the past year. I'm very disappointed with how short term this surgery lasted. I cannot afford the revision surgery so it looks like i'm destined to be FAT even though i'm still paying for my sleeve surgery every month for the next 10 yrs. I can now eat the same amount of food I was able to eat BEFORE surgery. But i'm told my sleeve looks fine and is not stretched out. Someone is feeding me a line. Good luck to you!
  2. I'm almost 3 yrs. out from sleeve surgery and i'm very disappointed with it. I weighed 286 the day of surgery, dropped down to 140 lbs. and now I weigh 200 lbs. again. I regret having this procedure as there was no long term data available at the time and I had NO CLUE I could gain THIS MUCH weight back, THIS FAST! For the past year, i've been able to eat as much as I did BEFORE my sleeve surgery which is why i've gained so much weight. I did everything I was supposed to do post-op so I don't understand how my sleeve has failed me. I have an appointment w/my surgeon on Monday to see what can be done. I can't afford to have revision surgery because i'm STILL paying for the original surgery and will be for the next 10 yrs. and my insurance won't pay because my BMI is too low. I have severe health problems that SHOULD justify them paying for it, but it doesn't. My BMI has to be 35 and it's only 31.6.. At the rate i'm going, i'm sure it'll be up to the required 35 soon...lol! But then i'm sure there would be some other reason they wouldn't pay for it. Please pray for me as i'm very upset and feel let down and really don't like writing out that check every month to "GAIN" weight. I'm so glad i've found this board and hope I can get some support from it.
