Is there a procedure to measure my stomach after vertical sleeve gastrectomy? 9 months post op and weight loss has stopped.

Asked By:ButOfCourse in Jersey City, New Jersey

I had VSG in December of 2021. Since surgery I've only lost 20lbs. This is in addition to the 11lbs lost while on the pre-op diet. I've been at a stall for over 6months. I currently weigh 190 (BMI 32). I strictly followed my post op diet andd am very confused on why my weighloss has halted. I obtained my operating report for details, but no measurements were included. I'm afraid that not enough of my stomach was removed. Is there any way i can have my stomach measured post op?
