how much weight did you lose after getting sleeve?

[jhansen71 257]

I have lost 54% of my excess weight or 23% of my total body weight. I'm 4 month post-op at 189.6 and starting weight was 243.6. My goal is to lose 100 lbs.

Im having surgery in a few days. I plan to go on vacation in a few months. I just want to get an idea on the amount of weight lost for some people.

Between 78 and 96. My all time low was 132, 18 below my surgeon's goal and 13 lbs below my personal goal. It was too low and I added calories to gain about ten lbs back. I had trouble stopping the weight loss, then realized 'just add calories' Duh!! Anyway, I am comfortable at 142 - 146. Right now I am a few lbs over what I LIKE, so I've cut my calories from 1200 per day to 900 or less. I should be able to take off the few unwanted lbs in a week, maybe two. Family reunions/vacations are horrible, toooooo many sweets etc!!! It's very easy to cut back now, I track it all on line and I don't get hungry, life is very different now.

Goal in less than 5 months. I love my sleeve. Follow your surgeons diet plan, excercise and stay hydrated and you will be at a place you never dreamed possible. The other day Sleeve4me and I were laughing over her buying a size 4. Giggling really. But the crazy part was a year ago we both would have been estatic with a size 14. Now we are both wearing size 4. NEVER did I dream this big or "small"

No regrets. I love my sleeve.

iegal, Your story is my story!! A year before surgery I would have done a happy dance if i could wear a size 14, now I wear 4's and 6's. I am at a place I never thought possible. I underestimated what could happen with this surgery. I reached my surgeon's goal in just under 5 months and MY goal, 5 lbs less, five weeks later!! The first time I slipped into a size 4, I DID giggle to myself, I wanted to go out and shout it to all the other customers at The Gap!!! I love, love, love my sleeve!!!

I had sleeve surgery Christmas 2011, I've loss 92 lbs so far. My doctors goal is for me to lose 150 lbs. I feel great, best decision . Only bad thing is my hair is starting to fall out. Anyone else having hair issues?

Look up Hair loss on the search,most lose hair during weight loss... it does slow down and stop at some point. I am at 20months and my hair is not back to normal yet... it is growing back though....
