It gets better. I'm also a band to sleeve patient, although I had my band out years before I got sleeved. Be prepared, you will likely lose slower than some of the freshly sleeved. I'm averaging 1-2lbs per week.
The weight loss is definitely slower. I was averaging a pound a day the first week and a half after the sleeve surgery. Now it is about half a pound a day. I’m just taking it one day at a time though 😊
