I think the success of the sleeve has everything to do with you and your individual decisions and actions. I had the surgery on May 2nd and 7 months later I can already see how easy it could be to go back to unhealthy choices. Life goes back to normal on the other side of surgery and the surgery itself can only do so much for you. Changing your lifestyle really is everything. I know we hear that, and also that the surgery is just a tool a lot pre-op... but it really is true!

I am 5’2” and starting weight was 270 I had sleeve done in March. I weigh 150 now. My goal was 130 but after talking to my primary doctor and surgeon we changed my goal to 145 due to looking too skinny and unhealthy. So I am 5 lbs from goal

I have PCOS, and after either bleeding non stop, or not bleeding for a while, I finally had my first normal period in a really long time last week. I am 3 months post op tomorrow. I can feel my body working in a way I haven’t felt in a long time :)

Don’t stress too much about that. Is it the one just next to your belly button? It was the same for me, especially at that incision. Take the rule of not lifting anything heavy seriously, because that will make it hurt sooo much more. Just be patient, it will go away. Also, a stomach binder really helped me.

Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you I had been off of this site for a while trying to focus on myself I have taken everyone's advice and have recently figured out the certain combination for my own self I have shed 23 lb just by people's advice so I'm very happy thank you for your advice you can message me anytime God bless and good luck to you on your weight loss Journey

I probably have an unpopular opinion on this, but I plan to enjoy the food. I obviously have reduced portions, but at 6 months out, it is not so obvious as to draw attention. I plan on choosing the healthier options, and also having a small slice of pie and perhaps a glass of wine. I will not be tracking my calories tomorrow, I just plan on enjoying the day and then getting back to it on Friday.

Wow, you’re doing incredibly!!

Walking up a flight of stairs without gasping for breath.
Enjoying what use to be my hour regular walk with lots of hills
After having a soak in the bath, getting out of my bath easily without having to contort myself
Not having to buy tops that are a size too big so as to fit my breasts
Being energetic in general

WOW!! Congratulations! Technically weeks wise I just had my 5 month but if.you go by day of the month I'm 4 days away. I've only (haha only!) Lost 70. I've learned not to compare weight loss totals after my roommate from my surgery told me she had lost 87 when I had "only" lost 66. I am so thrilled for you!!!

Wow, you’re doing incredibly!!

2 months, 23 days since surgery. Life is really getting back to normal now. 41kg down from my January 2018 weight and 24.2kg down since surgery. Just dropped under 115 for the first time in years! Still, a long way to go from my goal but i'm getting there.

I am 9 months out. It wasn’t that way to start with - I had a lap band for 9 or so years, and this was the thing I struggled with the most for the first 4 years when it was working. I never got used to it.




After the bypass I tried sipping with a meal - and at about 4 months found it was fine. I drink pretty much only lightly carbonated Water, maybe 1/4 glass with a meal, and usually to wet my mouth, throat, for swallowing.




My surgeon is fine with this and comfortable it has no ill effects. I don’t drink after I am finished eating, though.


Do you let the Water flatten or is there a magical “half carbonated” water out there?? :)

No, but I’d love to follow your journey if you post here along the way. One of the main reasons I had surgery was to help have healthier pregnancies. Congrats!

I had surgery on 5/2 and went to Hawaii for 12 days on 6/29 with my fiancé’s whole family... no one even knew I’d had the surgery, I felt fine, and swam and hiked just fine. No one can tell you what to expect from your own body and recovery, but I think you’ll be totally fine :)

Anyone on here get pregnant a year or sooner out from surgery and everything went fine? Super nervous!

Good luck with your upcoming gastric bypass!!
I hope you’re working on resolving any emotional eating issues as the new surgery won’t prevent you from eating poorly or overeating. It is also common to lose less weight with a revision versus an original surgery. But if you follow recommendations to eat dense Protein first then non-starchy vegetables, and to avoid sugar, processed food, simple carbs, alcohol, and liquid calories, you should be successful. This new way of eating needs to be a long term lifestyle change, and not just until you reach your goal weight. You can do this!

I don’t know what to tell you, I would be conflicted too, because you trust both of them... I have a non hormonal, copper IUD and it’s worked out great, if you want to try another method.

Just confirming....8 months and 6 pounds? What kind of surgery did you have? What does your medical team say?
