I was sleeved 3/27 with a revision 3/29 and am down 20 lbs but the scale has stopped moving over the last couple of days! Hoping for movement soon.....

Why did you have to have a revision 2 days later?

Are you able to guzzle a lot of water at one time yet? I am 2.5 weeks and desperate to be able to!

I am almost 4 weeks out and can't guzzle. Sips.

I had a lot of swelling and my stomach herniated up into the chest, closing it off. I couldn't swallow anything. I had the Lapband removed also which contributed to the swelling. So I went back two days later and he pulled the stomach back out and had to remove the sutures where he had over stitched the staples to try and prevent a leak. He also found a part of my stomach that he somehow missed during the first surgery which had herniated above where the Lapband had been so he cut that out too the second time. It was all screwed up. I was just so thankful I could swallow after all that!

So sorry you went through that, but SO thankful that they fixed it right away!!! And hopefully for free!

I was sleeved march 13 (5 weeks tomorrow) and am down 21.5 since surgery and total of 33 since preop.

I was sleeved on March 25th down 31 pounds...... still having problems with head hunger vs real hunger vs thirst.......... I was not one of the lucky ones that feels nooooo hunger at all... I still feel it. It is not a fraction of hunger before surgery , but it is still there......

I can drink larger sips than I could weeks before and don't have to wait very long in between. I still don't take huge gulps, though.

Sleeved March 1!! Down 28lbs and that includes a trip to Las Vegas for my birthday!!! I have slimed a few times mostly due to eating too fast!! But I am getting better!!!

3/1 down 30 lbs 70 total. I don't weight myself but once a month. I'm looking forward to weighing in next month again. Weighing daily or weekly does something weird to my brain. This way I'm sure to have a loss. I'm loving this sleeve o mine.
