band to sleeve

I had a band to sleeve done 7 weeks ago. I loss 85 pounds with the band. Now I am frustrated that I haven't lost more weight. I have lost about 15 pounds. I feel hungry all the time and I don't feel restriction. I have been told many things but I feel it is not working for me. I have been told too soon since I recently had the band removed. Have others experienced this?

I'm about 8 months out and have only lost 37 lbs. It's definitely different from the band you have to work ALOT more with the sleeve. The restriction is different as you don't get stuck which makes you stop eating. You kinda have to stop yourself. I as well lost a lot with the band oover 100 lbs I know it's frustrating but keep trying you will figure out what works for you.

I lost 60 with the band and have gained 50 back its awful I feel hungry all the time but food is constantly getting stuck I am talking with my surgeon about a revision

I lost 77 and gained back 70 with complications fills/unfills

Thanks so much for the responses. I am learning from everyone. I need to let everyone know why I had the sleeve. I was looking at my second port change and my insurance wouldn't pay. It was going to be 7000. So I went to Mexico and had the revision plus sleeve for that amount. I didn't get enough information. I am a NP and my patients did well that is basically all I knew. I honestly not sure what I would have done if I had all my facts. I am losing weight. I have lost 20 pounds. My surgery is two months tomorrow. I am still hungry. I stopped my PPI and that was a mistake. I have restarted taking to see if that will help. I am feeling a restriction now but feel like I have I have eaten too much. Do you know a food diary that include protein, carbs and calories? My facilitator want to see where I may be going wrong.

The apps "My Fitness Pal" and "Lose It!" Are my go to fitness/food diary apps. I also invested in a fitbit flex. It has been amazing to see how much moving I do in a day. That also has a phone app available to track food. It's a wonderful tool.
