Hi my name is allison I originally had the sleeve done in 2013 at 400 pounds. I lost 160 pounds in the first 1 1/2 years I got pregnant in 2015 and had a baby June 2nd 2016. I only gained 10 pounds being pregnant. I gained 60 pounds back in the next 2 years, it was all my fault, I was eating like crap and not exercising, I got lazy. So I decided to do a resleeve feeling like I had stretched my stomach out from the 1st surgery. The dr that did my leak test told me it will be much harder to loose the weight with a resleeve it dosnt just fall off like the 1st time, when he told me that my whole thought process changed and I knew I was going to have to make a huge life style change again, it all depends on me with weight loss, so I have changed everything. I weighed 300 pounds when I did the resleeve on 5/12/2108 and I know weight 205 on 11/10/2018. So in 6 months i have lost 95 pounds it hasn't been easy but it has been worth it i am still losing. The process the life style change has become easier I dont have to think about what I should or shouldnt eat I just know. Its comes naturally know. This surgery saved my life, I am a new person, I feel amazing and I am healthy.
