Is my gastric sleeved stretched out?Would I need a revision?

April 19, 2019
Asked By:arozas in Boston, MA

I am about 1yr & 7mos out since I had my surgery.I've noticed that my stomach can hold more than it use to.I'd lost about 50lbs,then I fell off 6mos ago.I gained back 12lbs.Before I would eat 3-4 bites & I was full.Now I am eating about double that until I feel full(no pain).I'm just so worried that I did stretch my sleeve, I feel like all my dedication/surgery that I did was a waste if I did stretched it.If I get back on track with it go back to the way it was or is it too late?Revision?Help!
