I actually gained nine pounds my first week post op. Then it began to come off.

Try to have patience and just stay focused on healing, staying hydrated and sticking to your plan and the weight will begin to come off!!

Congrats on your surgery.

You have just had major surgery, we're pumped full of IV fluids in the hospital, and are swollen. I highly recommend that you stay off the scale for a while.

Just focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

I'm just scared because when I had the original sleeve done I never lost any weight. 2 years later Dr agreed to do a revision of my sleeve (plactation). This is my last chance.

I had my band removed and converted to a sleeve 2 years ago. I was depressed because after 90 days I never lost any weight. The doctor gave me diet pills and that how I lost 15 lbs . The diet pills didn't work any more . So he agreed to do a revision of the sleeve what he calls a plactation.

I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through this again. Any idea why you were not able to lose weight with the first sleeve? What are you doing differently now?

I'm not sure the doctor really didn't know him self WHY it failed. He said about 10 percent of people that get the sleeve it does not work because of boby dynamics The second time around I told him I wanted to see pictures for reasurance. If I was not a surgical tech I would have taught he did nothing to me. Some people say it depends on how aggressive the surgeon is. So he said I would probably only lose 20 more pounds 30 would be over achieving

I had a 1 week followup after surgery at the surgeons office and he stated I had lost 13 pounds.

I've lost about 13 pounds. I wonder if the number will go down after my time of the month ends.

I was weighed in the hospital the morning after surgery and gained six pounds. Yikes.

My surgery was Wednesday morning. Its Saturday, I still feel crappy. I couldn't tolerate the pain med they sent me home with, sweet liquid thick syrupy codeine. I decide to deal with the discomfort as I honestly couldn't stomach taking the meds. It only hurts when I move. Other than that, its just slow intaking all the Clear liquids and Protein shakes.
