That's awesome I feel so much better, keep up the good work we will get there!!!

6 months post op this was best decision I ever made starting weight was 233lbs and today I weight 165 lbs picture on left was taken 2 weeks after surgery and one on right was 2 weeks ago . 25lbs to go till I reach my goal.

I had band problems and mine had to come out my insurance required 6 months of appts and counseling was well worth wait my revision was done November 16 2015. Down 50lbs. It's frustrating to wait but well worth it in the end.

My revision was done on 11/16 and today 2/1/16 I am down 45lbs and doing great. Started at 233 goal is 140 half way there!!

So far pretty good seems my scales have stalled and only eating about 500-600 calories a day mostly protein not getting the 60oz of fluid I should but getting 40-50 everyday. 7 weeks postop and down 33lbs.

I am having the same problem I am 7 weeks out and down 33lbs and the let 2 weeks no change in weight very frustrating and I am only rating about 500-600 calories a day. Feel like I am failing but my dr did not say I would loose at a slower pace from band to sleeve. Hoping those scales start moving again soon.

That is awesome I also have some jeans I could not wear that finally fit my surgery was 11/16 and I am down 30lbs have not been able to walk as much as I like had a spell with my foot and found out I have a stress fracture so a minor set back glad you are doing well keep it up we can do this!!!

Great on the weight loss

Don't be scared you will do awesome I had band out and sleeve done with hernia repair on 11/16 doing great first week was a little sore and I have fears everyday of failing with the sleeve but you won't fail I am down 22lbs and feel great with more confidence than I had with band we will all be saying a prayer for you on the 1st.

That includes my preop diet to.

Hope you are doing well I am still sore and working hard to get my strength back down 21lbs so far

Wow the pictures look great I guess I am scared that since the band did not works this will fail also I had drain and staples out today and feel so much better ready to begin this journey!!! You are a great inspiration

Good to know I am terrified at this point

Yes it's good to know I was starting to panic about appointment tomorrow and wondered should I take a pain pill before hand

I don't know but my dr puts a drain in as a precaution to watch for infection or leakage my band was tough to come out so I have one big incision about 4-5 inches

Wow I can wait to get this drain out had for a week and bothersome. Thanks I hope its painless !!

Good to here your doing better I get drain and staples out tomorrow and cannot wait.

You go girl !! Mine has only been a week I get drain and staples out tomorrow and cannot wait.

Congrstulations

Hope you are doing better and home resting to recover!!!

Oh my glad you are on way home take it easy and recover slowly

Wow I'm impressed my surgery was the 11/16/15 and down 16lbs still sore but I am on the mend a little at a tome

Awesome now on to the recovery and a new you!!!

Absolutely I feel like the band created many issues for me . Progress was great at first and then Things started falling apart.
