I had my band to sleeve revision on December 26th . My doctor didn't mention it but after reading all of the posts, I'm assuming I too have a pouch above my sleeve . I had 640 calories of Opti plus broth for the first 10 days but increased it to 800 calories a day to get my Protein level up to 70 grams over the last few days. My scale shows I'm 5 pounds above the weight I was the morning before the revision and no weight loss since. Am I to assume that is because of the swelling due to my band removal and sleeve being done at the same time , the weight loss will show once the swelling goes down. I have most certainly lost inches ,not stressing but just looking for a reality check from others.

if you are losing inches, you are losing actual weight

regardless if the scales goes up or stays the same....i'll

that that any day..let yourself heal before you start fretting..

Once the swolling goes down you will have a fast loss of fluid
