Thank you for being honest in this video. I am in the medical fiels so I understand everything & still did my research b4 my gastric sleeve. I attended many meetings to listen to other patients who already had sleeves done & how they were doing. I felt very prepared of what to do and what not to do. I was 5'3" & 215 lbs. I got down to 170 via surgery alone and lost another 10 with hard work. I still could have lost more for an ideal result but it was like everything stopped. When you have the surgery done, the ghrelin definately goes away for about 2 years. But once you are fully healed, it comes back like it never ever left. No md's talk about this. And the other thing md's don't talk about is technical shortcomings. I would bet my life my surgeon was too conservative with my sleeve. It was to easy to go back to regular food. The full first year was a bit rough for me but you can really feel when you are fully healed. I told my surgeon I was unhappy. I regained all of my weight & she shrugged her shoulders and said "gastric sleeve doesn't work for everyone. You need a bypass." Like hell I will. Of course she blamed me and said your stomach probably stretched. Huh? Why was it too easy for me to eat food again? Can a revision be done? Or I feel like Wycovia is the way to go for me at this point at age 67. I am so very disappointed. What a hugh disappointment this experience was.

@@F35_JSF Let me start by saying, Eric I am humbly sorry for your unfortunate experience. The thought really breaks a part of my heart. At the same time, I am grateful God has blessed me with much success and happiness after having the surgery. Now that I just had my 2 year anniversary of being sleeved, I WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING!!! To date my total weight loss is 147lbs… AWESOME! June 18, 2022 my father passed and that flipped my entire world upside down. I gained 25lbs from eating too much of the WRONG FOODS even in smaller portions and consuming entirely too much alcohol. But at the time it was what I felt I needed. A visit to my endocrinologist in February of this year reminded me of the WHY behind me having the surgery and all of the hard work I’ve put in since. I was my father’s primary caregiver. My mother is disabled. I know there was no way I could have cared for him and worked as a public school educator at 347lbs. I REFOCUSED and RECOMMITTED myself to living a healthier lifestyle by allowing my “TOOL” to do its part while I do mine. WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, the sleeve has worked wonders for me physically and mentally. To date I still see my therapist and exercise 4 or 5 times a week. My benefits have allowed me to experience things I only dreamed of doing while I was overweight. I’ve learned how to swim. I’m taking horse riding lessons now, which is also great therapy. I’m going zip lining at the end of this month. I’ve been featured in a weight loss documentary for the hospital’s, where I had my surgery, weight loss clinic. As a “success” story, the same hospital is scheduled to film me today during my riding lesson and again when I go zip lining. I DO THINK ANYONE who has had the surgery does have a certain responsibility to share their story be it GOOD, BAD, or OTHERWISE. Each individual has the same responsibility to do their own research, pray, and make a decision with the understanding that their outcome may or may not mirror someone else’s outcome. Be well and my the Lord heal and restore your body.

Thanks a lot for the video. My gastric sleeve didn't work, I only lost 11 kilos. It was well done by a bariatric surgeon in Barcelona, where I live, but I guess it was my fault I didn't do things correctly. Every time I do something to lose weight, I end up regaining it and a few kilos more. The only good thing about it is I stopped smoking so that wasn't bad. I had it done 12 years ago. I don't know if something new has come up but I don't think I would dare get a gastric by-pass. Too dangerous and I have to work.

Thank you for your video. I had the sleeve 2/10 and it's doing it's thing and I am doing my thing to help it work the best for me. I also saw a video where the dr de-emphasized exercise but it was more to not work out too soon and too vigourously at first because the calorie intake is so small at the beginning that there's the risk of not taking in enough energy. I started working out about two weeks after surgery and I started with just a few minutes and slowly raising my workout time. I think teaching people how and why the sleeve may fail is essential for the reason you stated: knowing that it's not a magic pill and knowing how we contribute to the success (or failure) of it, will help us plan what we should be doing.

I walk at least 5 daily. Hit 45-50 and you're effed...at least I am. I'm way too fat. A good 60 pounds too damn fat. I'm like 188 at 5'4. I know it's not where you were, but I still hate every centimeter of my body. Good news, i feel so gross, I don't have to worry about stupid people I might date. I've got 0 interest. So, bonus.

My fiance just got this 3 weeks ago. His recovery is rough, as he only drinks soups, and yogurts. He tried very little bites of tuna fish or shredded chicken and he immediately gets sick and vomits. He calls it vapor lock. Is he going to experience this forever and hes stuck only eatting soups and yogurt for rest of his life? Prior to the surgery he always worked out, lifting and hikes every week. Hes very active. He only wanted to lose about 40lbs. How long will he have to continue with liquids ? Hes very very frustrated and at times depressed because he regrets getting it done since he's been on right track prior to surgery. Btw, he still gets hungry so the gremlins are still there!!!

I had my surgery over a year and a half ago and it was a fail. The surgeon wouldn’t let me drink water for the first 2 months and that should have been my red flag, but then during my 3rd month I got really sick to the point where I had no fluid/food intake for about 10 days and he wouldn’t let me get IVs (ended up getting them though because I spoke to other surgeons who thought my surgeon was insane).. during the end of the 4th month, I somehow went from not being able to eat or drink to having an appetite and eating (had covid at the time). And it all went downhill from there… would a CT gastroscopy show me if the fundus wasn’t completely cut off?

@Margie Perkins how far out are you from surgery? Have you lost since you've been at 220? (Maybe it was just a stall?) I'm almost 4 months out. So scared I'll fall at this. My main goal was at least to just be under 200lbs. (Even if my body stopped losing and left me at 199lbs, I just wanted to be under 200!) But I've seen ppl say that after 3,4,5 months they just abruptly stopped losing weight. Maybe thinking it was just a stall, but then turns out it wasn't a stall, their bodies just stopped losing. I'm so scared of that. (Which brings me to this video! That's why I'm watching this, to see what makes the sleeve fail) hopefully you got closer to your goal by now and you were just in a stall🤞

Maybe (hopefully) you were just going thru a stall when you commented, and thought you were done losing? I have heard ppl that did say their sleeve failed, some that hardly lost any weight, and/or their bodies stopped losing only 3,4,5 months post op😭 which I'm scared that'll happen to me.

@@Catherine-nv7wc hello. Still feel like it failed. Never felt the restriction others felt. Lost 40 lbs in 1 year. Something I’ve done with dieting alone in past . I’m trying my best to realize it’s about me changing my habits so starting to loose on my own now. With eating choices and exercise. Regret telling anyone about my surgery as when I do loose all my weight they will think it was surgery only but I know it was me changing and doing the hard work. I wish you much success. I know many that have had it and it’s been successful. I’m thankful I never felt sick and didn’t loose so much so quick that I looked like them which is sickly at times. And since I’ve lost slow my skin doesn’t say. Definitely a learning process. Wish you much success . Don’t worry and Remember true surgery is on your stomach not your mind and emotions. So if you don’t change those and that’s were you ate from, then it will come back.

In my case 185 KG at 175 cm height my surgeon told me a Bypass would be better but I read a lot about it and I feel a Bypass would be something I never could agree since I am 35 and right now I am pretty decent with my health, if you factor in my age and weight. I don't want to offend him and act like I am so smart but I just wonder how should it be: my call or his call? It's a private clinic and I pay 100% for the procedure. Thanks a lot!

I get hungry too! Some ppl in the sleeve fb groups that I'm in swear it's only head hunger. They say even if our stomach growls, that it's the head hunger causing that. I'm like "no! I know what hunger feels like!" My hunger never went away. BUT, (idk how true this is) but I recently heard that whether we are hungry or thirsty that it sends the same signals and has the same feeling in our bodies(hard to explain, but pretty much that its easy to confuse hunger from thirst because it feels the same post op, so many times we can just be thirsty but it feels like we are hungry) again, idk how true that is, I probably didn't explain it too well, but yeah- either way, I still feel hunger too! Makes me feel better hearing that I'm not alone in that because some ppl in the fb groups make ppl that feel hunger feel wrong, like we are making it up and it's impossible to feel hunger! Maybe the part of our stomach that produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin? I forgot how to spell it) maybe that part wasn't taken out of us(?) 🤷♀️

Dr Seun, hi I am hoping you can help me. I am a kidney transplant recipient for 7 years now. I never had a weight problem I have always been active. I was on dialysis for 3 years and during that time I gained 60 pounds because my activity level changed no more going to the gym I was too weak. My appetite didn't change so I gained the weight. I had a kidney transplant and gained and additional 30 pounds. I was at risk of losing the kidney because my bp started to go back up. I exercised, watched what I ate and couldn't lose the weight. Finally, I did the vsg surgery. I lost 60 pounds but I have not been able to lose the last 30pounds. I keep going back and forth with my weight. I do take 2.5mg of prednisone. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I keep going for appointments with the bariatric nurse but I get pills that end up affecting my immunosuppressant medications and do anything.

Very informative. I am close to someone that underwent this surgery and I was horrified and saddened about the decision. I think it needs to b a last resort cuz of side effects and radical lifestyle change and all the vomiting and dumping. That cd nvr b a positive correction to me. Thats depressing! I think what morbidly obese ppl Need to try first before surgery is intense therapy, nutritional counseling And get rid of the enablers. Surround urself with people that support you not sabatage u! Stop eating fake food and candy and cake and limit bread. Believe in yourself and meditate or pray for strength and will Power
