The longer the better. People drive themselves crazy weighing right out of the gate and get disappointed because of swelling and fluid retention. Also, you should know that about 90% of WLS patients experience a stall around three weeks out. So if you do weigh at week 2 and don't see much change at week 3, don't freak out!

How are you doing? I had band to sleeve revision on jan 23rd. I have lost 15 pounds as of last week. I weigh myself once a week not every day. I go to the NUTRITIONIST on Friday. I can't wait to be able to have new food options. Stay in touch with your progress!

Why did you get the revision and how long after your first surgery was the revision made? Also thats awesome!! 15lbs gone

I am 4 weeks out now. 26 lbs gone. I had the revision because I was not able to keep food down with band and after some investigation found I had a hernia, damage to my esophagus and erosion from the band.
