Mow much more weight lost after revision?



Recommended Posts

I had the Lap Band from July 08-Feb 11. Got sleeved a bit more than a week ago. I was 350pre band and was down to 235 at one point. I got sleeved at 260. I went down to 250 fast but stalled out 5 days ago. Been in a stall. Havnt had more than 800 calories a day. Been walking a bit here and there, I guess its just a stall. My real question is can I expect to lose a lot more? Like the initial big weight loss others get with WLS? The stall has me wondering. My plan is to be able to eat better than I could with the band yet still have restirction and get under 200 pounds. I know its a tool and I need to work it. Anyone already 50-100lbs down and still have an initial big loss?

I had a revision from band to sleeve. I really think you are in a stall. I lost 22 pounds my first month, which I was very happy with. Everyone is so different, so it is hard to say how much you will lose. (Although ten pounds is pretty big in a week!) The biggest and fastest success I have seen is from those who do extreme low carbing (30 grams or less). Exercise is also important. I have found the sleeve to work very well and consistantly. Just be patient! I know you want that big huge loss, but what I love about the sleeve is that the pounds are staying off. I had major regain with the band when it failed me. I have times when I stall and times when I lose lots. If you stick to the plan, it will work!

Thanks. I was most enthusiastic about keeping the weight off and not gaining anymore. Id like to get back to 235 and see what happens from there. I know I will ever get to my ideal weight but under 200 would be nice. The 10 pounds is nice but I yoyo ten pounds at the drop of a hat.

You'll get to where you want to be if you follow the rules, Protein first veggies if there is room.

Of course if you sneak in thing that you aren't supposed to eat, it will effect your weight loss.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is just a tool not a magic cure. chocolate goes through the sleeve like it's not even there. It's up to me

to say no.

Hip, this surgery is amazing. I have no doubt you could get yourself to any weight you'd like. If you wanted to lose more than 235, I'm willing to bet you would. I'm a revision and yes, I gained with my band. I'm far below my lowest with my band weight now - and really I don't feel like I'm bottoming out at all. Like Denise said, as long as you're following the sleever rules of eating, it will eventually come off.

I stall here and there but over time I think I've grown very confident that it will come off down the line when it's time. :) I just dropped 8 Lbs in 3 days right now. Then I also just had a 3 week stall right before this too. Just hang tight, and give it some time. :)

Thanks a lot. I was hoping to drop a quick 40 the next two months so I will just have to see what my body wants to do.

My surgeon told me that I should lose 75% of my excess weight over the first year. Since I have over 200 lbs to lose, I will probably a lot of weight quickly, but it will slow down the closer I get to goal.

Based upon your post you have about 70 pounds to lose. Using the same formula, you should lose about 50 pounds in the first year. That means, your rate of weight loss will be slow but steady. I'm just going off of the information that my surgeon gave me. I hope that helps! smile.gif

I dropped weight incredibly quickly post my revision. I had 115lbs to lose, and did it in 6.5 months. So, I'm a firm believer that weight loss after revision can be just as quick as virgin WLS patients. Stalls will happen after any WLS and they'll pass too.

Just keep plugging away, push fluids, Protein and stay positive.

Hi,

I am 6 weeks out from my revision and I have lost 20 pounds. That is about 30% of my excess weight. You can definitely lose with VSG after the band :-)

I am waiting for my sleeve surgery. Generally, tho, if you rev up the activity and drink more fluids, plus follow your diet 100%, you will break the stall. Look at it this way: your body is shrinking, so this stalling is the time needed for your body to get used to the smaller size. I bet if you measure, inches will have come off. Hang in there!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
