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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
