I am going to do revision if all goes as planned from band to sleeve however I'd like to lose approx 19lbs. Is that even possible with the sleeve? When I go in on the 21st again I will talk with my Dr. She did my band and seems to think sleeve would be a good option. I do not want rny but is that the only way to lose that much?! :/

Prior to your surgery u will loose a few lbs. I'm pretty sure u know the drill being u had the lap band . However I have not done the sleeve yet my day is 2/20(yay) and I know someone who was in ur same position who the band was unsuccessful and they did the sleeve she is 140 now in one year and a half and was pre op was 296! I think that this all depends on how much effort u put in to post op. if u do everything right u will have great results. Alot of questions you have about the surgery u can just scroll and see in this form. Believe me as much as I was told by doctors after doctor there is nothing better then hearing from people who have already an are preparing for this drastic change. Look thru all the sections that there are so many questions you can get answers by just reading here! Hope ur journey starts off great

I hope it's possible, otherwise I'm screwed My goal puts me losing about 200 pounds when all is said and done. I'm about halfway there right now, and I was losing about 4 pounds a week. I was deathly sick for a couple weeks this month, though, so this month's weight loss is wonky as all get out.

When comparing the long term results between a sleeve and RNY, the results are very similar. RNY has a slightly higher overall weight loss, but honestly, all the increased complications and icky side effects, not to mention a life without chocolate... it just wasn't for me.

So you've lost about 100?! In how long? Can I ask you starting stats? And now?

I've lost that amount since late October. I was sleeved on 10/22. I'm 5'10" and my start weight was 383. Right now I'm about 286 and I've been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds this week, which I try to take in stride. My stomach's still a little sensitive from being sick, so my diet's been a bit more carb heavy than usual.
