I had a gastric sleeve in 2010.i currently weigh 137 started at 300lbs. is it possible to have surgery to stretch my stomach and gain weight?

Maybe, But why would: anyone do it. Repeat surgeries are always frought with dangers and risks of complications are multiplied. I would not recomend it. Lets see if anyone else would?
