I am almost 9 weeks post op, and it was the most challenging times in my life. Never think this is a quick fix! I have lost 43.2 lbs, over 15% of my body weight. I feel so much better, but eating is still a daily struggle to change old habits. I finally notice the inches lost and the energy gained, but still have 72 lbs left to lose. Has anyone lost the excess weight and got to a BMI under 25? It seems so far away.

The time will pass whether you gain or lose weight. That's how I view it. It's hard to be patient.

The best thing about the Gastric sleeve is that it's a slow and steady drop. It's probably better for your loose skin situation to lose it more slowly anyways. This is a marathon, not a race, pace yourself and be patient. You'll get there.
