Will be having the sleeve done in August. I'm considered to be a smaller patient. Does this mean it will be harder to lose weight? Will it still help w type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure issues? Will healing be longer or shorter? So many questions!

My BMI was 35 when I had my surgery. I weighed 230 and I'm 5'8. I was about a size 16/18. I lost 23 pounds my first month and each month after that I lost around 10 pounds. I reached my goal in ten months. I weigh 130 and my BMI is 20. I am below my goal weight and have maintained this weight for seven months. I know everyone is different but maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and will lose quickly . The most important thing to me was not how quickly I lost weight just that I had a steady weight loss. Watching the scale move downward each week is the best feeling in the world !!!
