4 weeks out and I have lost 20 lbs., but my shape has changed and is still changing.... a ring I couldn't fit on my middle finger now fits only my middle finger and is too big on my ring finger. Jeans that didn't fit pre-surgery now fit and are a little loose in the butt and there is no struggle to zip them.

As long as my body is changing I am good with the weight moving slowly. I know from losing 150+ lbs with the band my body likes to plateau for 3-4 weeks then lose for a bit, plateau for a bit. It didn't happen until I lost about 50-75 lbs with the band it started earlier with the sleeve but I will take it.

I was cleared to go to work this week and work out along with traveling.

Did you do the revision in one surgery?

Yes. The hospital I had surgery in usually does not do both in one procedure but since I suffer from Lupus they supported my request to have it all done at once.

Oh okay...I did the same in Dec 2012...but I think it should be done separately...I think you end up having a bigger bougie ...because of the swelling of the band...I wish I did it separately...now I getting Resleeved next year....will keep you posted

Hi everyone!

I know this must on case by case situation but, this is my question to have a revision I have to wait years? or how miserable should I be before I bring this up with my doctor, I was banded on 8/6/14 I know a lot of time haven't past but I just feel this is not working... no restriction, vomiting, night sweats, and many more discomfort.

thanks,

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
