Just 2 days pre-op of liquids. My goal is 130-140 but I still can't see that happening. I have never been that small. I've been in my second stall and just want to see the scale moving again!

I know you didn't ask this question - but you might want to read up on the risk of complications for a conversion from band to sleeve. Leaks and excessive bleeding are the two main ones and if you are unlucky enough to experience either of them - it will negatively impact your life for months. If you are not having any problems with the band, it is just something to think about if it is worth the risk.

Having said that, I converted from band to sleeve (my BMI was over 50!) and had no complications. It is an individual decision if the risk is worth it.

I was a BMI of 32 on Aug 27, had lap band but got a sleeve. Has been real slow. Only 12 lost since then. Still getting used to it.

I went from being very succesful with the band then ermegently lost the band -2 yrs later got the sleeve and my BMI was at 34- I have had the sleeve for 6 months and lost 20 pounds

I eat more then the 1 cup rule-maybe 2 cups

I am so frustrated

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
