I am 4 months out of surgery and have lost 60 pounds with huge success. My only concern is that I have a good sized grapefruit sized lump over my incision where the stomach came out. I believe he told me at first preop it would go away. After 4 months out it shows up more because everything else has disappeared . I get concerned because I can't find anyone on here who has had the same problem. Anyone have this problem?

Revision June 23rd and have lost 60 pounds so far. It has changed my life!
-
Fatty M- for once in my life I don't have to really worry about being overweight or overeating. I had my revision on June 23 and weighed 264.8 the day I came home from surgery . I now weigh 204.4 on 11/5. That is 60 pounds in 4.5 months. Surgery was a breeze - had some weak spells early but feel great and have went from 2x to L in a short amount of time and am 4 pounds away from my 1st real goal. Best decision I have ever made. You will do great! I second guessed it and cancelled my surgery twice before I did it. No sweating, snoring, knee pain, high BP disappeared, and I dress way better in nice clothes because they feel great. Has added years to my life.

Orange shirt is about 260 and the other picture is now at 216
-
Do it! I had my 3 month check up today. I have lost 50 pounds in that time weighing in at 216 today. I am 45 and 5'10 and can't wear the majority of my clothes . I feel great, surgery wasn't bad at all. I haven't told anyone and everyone is asking me about how much weight I have lost.
-
Down from 264.8 to 223- weight loss is slowing to about 7 or 8 pounds a month. People definitely notice how much I do not eat. I usually say I just ate something before the meal. Went to a rodeo and had BBQ Saturday and could literally eat only about 4-5 bites and was full.
-
Hellcat- I am a revision and at 7 weeks I have already lost more than I did with lap-band. No way I will ever be able to eat the way I used to. Lunch was about 6 bites and I was full. I am now worried about losing too much weight.
-
In 55 days I have lost 35 pounds! Right now this thing was worth it. 264.8 to 229.1 this morning. Blood pressure is down, sleeping better and look way better. I was apprehensive after the band because I could anything I wanted with the band. Now I cannot eat much at all. Surgery was easier than the band. I encourage anyone to do it.
-
I am 7 weeks out and have lost 34 pounds. I didn't tell anyone and everyday people are asking how much weight I have loss. It's been a ride so far and I can't hardly eat anything. Surgery was easy and so far I have lost 7inches off my waist and an inch and a half off my neck.
-
I cancelled my date twice before I had revision surgery because of apprehension. Had it 6 weeks ago and am down 33 pounds already. I hardly had any pain. Band was more painful.
-
Had my revision in one surgery and it was an easier recovery than from the Lap band. Have lost 33 pounds in 6 weeks. Been great so far !
-
Pink- very good have lost 33 pounds and 5 inches off my stomach and 1.5 off my neck. I can tolerate any food just not much of it. Sweets are the past as it doesn't taste good anymore. Definitely a great move for me. I sleep better , sweat less, and knees hurt less already. Not to mention clothes are draping off of me
-
Never had much restriction with the band after a few months. I lost 50 and gained it all back . I have lost 33 pounds in 6 weeks with sleeve. Restriction is very quick. I cannot eat much at all maybe 3oz at a time. Way easier and more effective than lap band. I had mine in one surgery and it was a breeze. I had a lot of apprehension. I have already lost 5 inches off my stomach and 1.5 off my neck.
-
Very encouraged as I have lost 33 pounds to date and already weigh less than I ever did with the band. Do not like anything with sugar except G2 Gatorade. Took a drink of Coke and it was no good, my favorite ice cream and don't have any interest in. Meanwhile I am sleeping better - not sweating as much and feel good. A new wardrobe is headed my way soon. 264.8 on June 25th and 231.6 on August 9th.

Way easier than the band - had mine 6/23 and have lost 33 pounds already

Today has been a month today since I had revision surgery. Surgery was easier than lap-band surgery in my opinion. I weighed 264.8 when I got home from surgery, and I weighed 242.2 this morning. That is 22.6 pounds in a month. I have went from 2x shirts to XL already. I am now at a stage where I can eat what I want but can't eat much at all. I have no problems eating and drinking but have trouble getting all my protein in just eating. The weight came off fast for 2 weeks but is coming off pretty slow now. I don't like to really go out and eat now because I can't very much at all. Other than that it's coming off slowly. Been a good month but definitely a change in my way of life.

Tuesday will be a month since I have had revision surgery and I have had no issues with reflux at all. I don't even need the Prevacid they gave me for a month. I have lost 21 pounds already.
-
Tuesday I was 3 weeks out and I am starting to 2nd guess this decision. I lost about 19 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I have not lost a pound in the last 12 days. I am usually eating around 800 calories and no more than a 1000. I have walked somewhere in the neighborhood between 5-8 miles everyday. Based on numbers there is no way I shouldn't be losing. Yesterday I sanded a garage in the heat and still didn't lose. I feel pretty good as long as I take my vitamin and I am active, and I couldn't overeat if I tried. My only issue is it is hard for me to get enough protein in. I am usually around 40-50 grams. Any advice?
-
I can tolerate anything, but can't eat hardly eat anything.
-
I had my revision in one surgery on June 23, 2015. My surgery was a 1.5 hours long. Not hardly much pain stayed overnight and went home. I had trouble with complete exhaustion during liquid phase but I am passed that, but make sure you take a good multivitamin with iron and B12. I have lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks. At 2 weeks I am currently in Vegas where I walked 8 miles yesterday. You will definitely know when to stop eating.
-
I am sleeved the same day you were I Had 5 days of full liquids and started puréed today. In 5 days I can move to mechanical soft
-
My doctor is 5-7 days full liquids, 5-7 days puréed, 5-7days mechanical soft, and then to chicken, fish and adding food. You progress through the range when you feel ready.
-
I was sleeved on the 23rd no pain meds since day of surgery - getting 64 oz of fluids but not enough protein. Have lost almost 3 pounds a day in the last 4 days. Walking about 3 miles a day. I feel pretty good
-
Can't drink it it's pure garbage!
-
Fluids have not been a problem getting them in. I drink at least 16 oz of milk a day -G2 Gatorade, water, had ice tea last night , will have one cup of coffee in morning. I am only taking in about 40 grams of protein a day is I am having trouble with protein shakes. I can't drink a lot of volume at one time but it is getting easier to drink. Have walked 6k steps to everyday since Wednesday. Trying to get up to 8k today since I started puréeds. Just had cream of wheat and could only eat a little more than 1/2 a package. I have went on two small walks today and am about at 2 miles. I have to get fluids in pretty soon as I am thirsty.
