Had the revision back in Sept 2016, after years of issues with my band, took some time for approval but once approved had. Now down to 158. Been at 158 for about3 months, but very happy with my weight loss. Dr told me would not lose as fast as sleeves that never had band, but she's very happy with my loss. Personally want to lose another 20. Best decision I ever made. Hopefully you had your bye now or at least its scheduled good luck

My advice is to be patient with yourself. Everyone is different. I had my revision on 1/13/17 and it took several months to keep the scale moving. I even had a week when I gained a pound During the liquid stage, just focus on healing and taking care of yourself.
As you can see from my stats, I'm losing but not as fast as others. If you compare your journey to others, you will always feel like a failure. I did the same thing at first, then I stopped. I now take pictures often and compare where I've come from. Stalls are common, even early in the journey. I had 2 stalls in the first 2 months. Again, this is just my experience, so good luck on your journey

I gained all my weight back. I had a another slip, Dr took out all Fluid and told me time to think about revision. Unfortunately my insurance would not pay for that Dr to do it, so had to find new Dr. Who I love.. Had surgery on 9/27 HW 211, SW 201 CW 177.6. Lowest weight with band was 166. Dr. Did tell me that weight would probably come off slower like 2-3 lbs week and not worry about stalls as long as following plan. Still think this was best decision I made. Good luck.

Congrats on your surgery! I feel the same way, I am 4 months out and down 37 lbs from day of surgery. Feel great and feel so much healthier not sure why I waited till I was 58 to have this surgery. But so glad I did.

I am so pleased to say that Jan 5 marked my one month surgiversary and I am down 24 lbs from my surgery day weight of 219 lbs ( currently 195 lbs). But the real kicker is my starting weight pre op was 242 lbs so total lost is 47 lbs , yessss. Also, my birthday was Jan 5 as well and I am a beautiful 39 years young may I add. So excited and looking forward to more success in near future. My goal is 150 lbs. motivation is on point to reach it.

I am so happy today I was sleeved this time last year on this day at 387 pounds and felt like I was headed to my death bed if I didn't make some changes. This is by far the best decision I have ever made for myself. I hit onederland (199) today as well and have surpassed all of my surgeons expectations. That is a total weight loss of 188 pounds and from a size 32 to a 14 in 1 year never thought I would see the scale for myself under 200 again. I feel great I exercise everyday and I am not dying of starvation! LOL! The best part is I think for the 1st time in my adult life I am truly happy and not just hiding behind a smile.

Ok I am now hooked on the Fat Dr show. Just started watching on YouTube as I am in the states. Love this Dr. So much nicer than that Dr on the US show. Have to look away during the surgeries as can't watch that but good show.

Congrats I am down 31 lbs since surgery which was 9/27. Been on a stall for last week and half hope it ends soon. My goal weight is 135 so I still have 35 lbs to go. But I know I can do it

Was easy for me. Had my done on 10/27. Had a little issue at 5 weeks, bent over wrong and pulled my inside stitches, out of work for 2 more weeks. But other than that everything was great. Easy recovery. I have lost total of 31 lbs since surgery. 41 with post op weight loss. Was a size 16 almost 18 pre-surgery now 12's are getting big. So happy had the surgery. At a stall right now, been same weight for 2 weeks, but working on it and I am sure it will come off. Best decision I ever made.

sleeved November 8th. 27yrs. HW 273 SW 233 CW 221. IG @macon_me

I'm 5 months out, and I had a little turkey, a litttttle mashed potatoes, gravy and carrots. Stomach is ok so far but I also have gallstones and don't want to trigger them so I'm taking more precautions! I currently left the room for dessert time. It sucks so much but I'm 100 lbs thinner in 5 months. By next thanksgiving I'll be a size 8! ????
