Any sleevers had a start weight of around 400? If so, how are your results?

My high weight was 565 and thanks to the sleeve I am getting ready to dip below 400 pounds for the first time in years!

That's amazing! How long ago did you have surgery?

April 20, 2015.

My surgeon told me today that the sleeve doesn't guarantee loss of the same amount of weight as bypass so I was worried.

I started at 415 - went on pre-op diet on 10/13/15 and had surgery on 11/3/15. So far, I have lost 72 lbs.

Wow. Nice!!

I don't think any surgery "guarantees" a certain amount of loss. You still have to follow your program.

Yes that's true.

My highest was 414, I lost some weight and was sleeved at 381 and am now down to 350.

Started at 420, vsg surgery on 5/6/15 and weighed in at 280 last I checked.

That's amazing! Very inspirational. Thank you guys!

I think the biggest difference when it comes to weight loss is with the Bypass surgery you lose faster.

I started at 387 and was 366 the day of surgery. I was sleeved 12/29/15 and I've lost 24 lbs since

Here is another one for you. I started at 449, went on the liquird pre-op diet, dropped down to 419 the day I had the sleeve and now I am at 402.. so in less then 30 days I lost almost 50 pounds.

515 highest, 480 sleeve day, 350 this morning. that's half people! 69 bmi to 47. i'm averaging about 25 lbs lost per month.
