I'm a newbie had surgery 2/23/16 was wondering how much weight you lost your 1st month switching from band to sleeve? Do you feel having the band first helped you or hurt you with the sleeve!!??

Had my conversion on 3/30 and am down 13 lbs since. Dr was please with that and so was I! I'm being very strict following the diet/water plan. Not hungry at all so literally set alarms on my phone to remind me to consume! I am able to take most of my supplements from before due to their small size but am still looking for a good multi. I have the MTHFR gene mutation and can't take folic acid so that's been the problem. I'll find one though. Went back to work 5 days post op with no problems and was just released to work out. My band was a total failure and I'm super excited about my progress so far! Good luck to you as well!
