HI there,
Congrats on your 80, I have lost almost 75 - I am around 170lbs now. I would like to get to155lbs. So I have a bit of work to do still. I have had a lot of stalls then I lose sometimes up to 5lbs in a week after a stall. I have lost really slowly the past 6 weeks.
I have had a consult for a corset Tummy Tuck and breast lift, which I hope to get done in January. I am working towards my goal weight to be ready for my next phase in life. Other than that I am super happy with my results and for making the decision to remove the band and go to the sleeve.

Down 96 pounds including weight loss before surgery (20) ! I can eat anything just very small portions and chicken fills me up fast ! Can't eat much at one time . Loving the new clothes , had to get rid of ally other ones

i was sleeved april 29, and have lost 84 pounds since surgery (276 starting to 192 today) - SO happy! several bad stalls though, and they get depressing, even though i'm awfully happy these days and proud of myself. I love having so much energy and that I finally really like exercsing...wow, did I say that?! Great to see how well everyone is doing. I'm really incredibly glad i did this, and VERY grateful for this terrific online community. You guys rock!

Just listen to everything they say to do, you will be at your goal in no time. Keep me posted! If you have any questions, I will help if I can ????. good luck!!!

Since surgery in April, I have lost 80, total loss is 106 since starting the process. I want about 40 more to go.

Hi there! I had the Sleeve done 6 months ago by Dr. Nusbaum. Love him and his staff, no problems for me at all. Ask me anything you want! One of the best decisions I have ever made!

Hi.. I was sleeved on 4/3. SW 272 CW 222
I too am down 4 sizes.. Crazy how quick the difference is in my mind and Body ! My challenge is keeping clothes that fit..

Hi everyone! For those that have UHC, I was wondering how fast you were approved once your info was submitted? My packet is going to be submitted soon, so curious. Thanks!!

Oh wow! So sorry your having issues like that. No fun at all! I am sure it will get better once the gastritis is under control. I am now a week out and doing very well. No issues at all. I hope it stays this way. I will be praying for you, keep in touch

hang in there! I was sleeved 4/3 too! I lost 13 the first week too and then nothing until today. Now down 18. I am told the body is just adjusting to the shock of surgery and all. Either way, your scale will move soon! Good luck!!

One week post op down 9lbs

Omg the dr surely did not tell me I would gain 10 pounds the day of surgery...i was so sad and worked so hard on my 7 day liquid preop and lost 9.2 pounds only to wake up and have gained 10......im 5 days out and have been losing 1.5 a day....i too must stay off the scale!!

Hi,
I had my sleeve last Tuesday and between the pre-op diet (which I followed to a T) and now I have only 3 lbs lost. They said to expect that as the body takes time to adjust. My doctor told me that if I was ever in a situation where I thought I might starve to death - that I never would because my body just conserves everything, if it feels something is wrong. He said I should concentrate on BMI # from now on and not the scale. I don't think I can do that
Good luck

The scale really hasn't moved 12 days out but I also measured my Waste, hips you know you get the idea and lost 5" in the waste hips are to same and so is bust but I'll take it !!! Lol

Hang in there! I was sleeved on 4/3. Everyday is better and better. I could get nothing down without it coming back up the first day or two. I have been on a script for acid since I left the hospital, and that must be saving me from that agony. Make sure you do get the prescription! Remember that this operation also messes with our hormones big time! Take your Zoloft (I am on that to) and just do as the doc says. Good luck to you and keep us updated!!

I was approved!!!!! It only took UHC 3 days (5 if you count the weekend). I could not take the wait much longer, lol! Sleeve date, 4/3. Losers bench here I come!!!!!

way to go!!!! One week from today, I will be sleeved! Do you have a date yet?

Fantastic !!! I'll be thinking of you.. You'll be done by the time I go in.. How awesome is that !!
Ok I'm getting excited now.. Someone's with me ❤️
Takes me a while to find this thread, but I'll be checking in the 4/3 sleevers .... ????
House done, laundry done, deep breath, fridge all set.. I almost posted a pic. It's to funny. Tote bag ready.. Let's do it to it ... ????????????????????????

Helllooooo. 4/3. We're right around the corner. I hope I get some sleep tomorrow night. Between nervs and anxiety. !! I just want to get this journey started.

Hi to all of you April 3 Sleevers. Just to reassure you all I had my surgery 2/26 & did great, minimal pain, no nausea or gas which seems to be the biggest problem. Answer is to walk walk wal I only stayed one night in the hospital. Good luck to you all!
