Hi Guys!

Can any of you share your experience from getting sleeved at a lower weight? My Surgery is May4th and I am nervous and am wondering if I will even lose. Can someone please tell me their experience? How were their losses? How long did it take to lose? Where are you now?

Here's a thread that answers your question

I was sleeved on March 27. My BMI was 35. Since surgery I have lost over 20 pounds. I was surprised how quick the weight came off I assumed at a lower BMI the weight would fall off slowly. Still on liquid diet. I was prepared to lose about 2 pounds a week. But it’s been over 20 pounds and I am not two week out from surgery.

Hi! I had the sleeve at a lower weight. I'm 5'4" and my highest weight was 233. When I started my preop liquid diet I was 216. Weight was 202 on surgery day - Aug 6 last year. I steadily lost around 10 pounds a month and currently weigh 132 pounds. Went from a size 18 to size 6. Surgery was a great success for me. I was one of the lucky ones that never had any problem tolerating any foods, no heartburn.

I was sleeved 27 September last year at 224 pounds and I'm now 156. It is slow and steady, I lose a pound then stay the same for several days, lose for a few days in a row then stay the same for a week. But is still regularly dropping, I'm 5'4 and looking to get around 140. I'm really happy with 68 pounds in 6.5 months ? I exercise a fair bit, so have had to learn how to fuel my body, if I burn as much as I eat my weight loss stalls, and after a really heavy lifting day I will 'gain' but it is water weight from inflammation and settles in a couple of days. I fly a lot for work and this seems to make me hold water too so have have a good 'loss' once I've been home a couple of days.

All the best, this is the best thing I've ever done, I'm glad I did it before I got any bigger as my weight was really stopping me living my best life ?
