You've obviously broken your VSG. You should probably begin seeking revision options and expet no further weight loss since you're already 7 whole weeks out - your window is closing! Thanks

I hear that you can get the lap-band over the VSG now. Maybe I should consider that?

Alcohol is a great appetite suppressant, that and it has all the calories you need to sustain yourself in a handy 4oz flask size. Plus, that pesky liver does take up a good amount of space in there, no to mention how much it weighs, you don't need it!

NOOOOO!! NO BAND OVER VSG!!
You need to plicate !! You can obviously eat too much if you have not lost 103.4 pounds already. Geeesh.
the interwebs is ALWAYS the best medicine. Especially if you are *SMART* and know to check the Snopes.

Sipping is for babies - if you just guzzle it all at once, then you don't have to waste your time sipping all day long. It's much more efficient.
I usually agree with Brandilynn, but here I don't - I think a band over VSG is a great option, especially on such a "young" VSG since the band can get in there while the gettin's good for building additional scar tissue and adhesions - since scar tissue isn't as flexible as regular tissue, it will only help to keep your sleeve from stretching out more.
I do agree with her, though, that the interwebs in the best medicine. Why even bother to so much as consult with a medical professional when WE are the experts who've been there, done that?

Oooh.. Jilly. You are right. I guess I was just thinking that if she only plicated that she could unclip her stitches and get a bigger belly when she got to goal and was askurt of losing too much weight.
Pffftt...professionalprosmcheschionall, or however you spell it.

Are they low fat? Maybe put some nutella on your protein and you can eat it better.

I'm new at this....but I'm just thinking if you use one of those nice powerful blenders to say blend up a Meat Lover's pizza with some high quality Vodka and a high sugar/fat option like ice cream? It would probably slide through your sleeve really easily, thereby shocking your sluggish system into instant excessive weight loss! It's kinda like a St. Pat's day celebration in a glass!
