More than 200lbs to lose

Any one out there with more than 200lbs to lose and have success with just a sleeve? I’m 1 year post op and have lost 174 pounds but have at least 75 more to go to get to where I’d like to be but I’m worried that it’s not possible with the sleeve

I don't have an answer but wanted to congratulate you on your success! That is amazing, keep up the good work and I am sure you will hit your goal.

I lost over 200 lbs but I had bypass. But I just wanted to say that it took almost two years for me to lose all that. My weight loss REALLY slowed down after I hit the year mark (near the end, it was like 2 lbs a month!), but it all came off. I was stalling a lot more frequently that second year, too. So many times I thought "well, this is it...", and then I'd drop a couple more pounds. Just stick with it! Your body might not be done losing yet.

174 is so incredible wow!! It absolutely should be possible with the sleeve. Remember the general rule, calories in vs calories out. Stick to that & you'll be good!

I don't see why not. There are many here who hit goal weight after having a virgin sleeve. But unfortunately, band to vsg usually doesn't have as high of success rates to get to goal. They may lose some weight but not as drastic as those who never had a previous wls.

I have lost 158 pounds. I went from 320 to 161. I would like to lose to 160 then I will be half of myself. On my sleeve. It isn't a race. The weight will come off if you learn yourself and how to maintain and how to do this. You can do it. Look at what you have already done. You are doing great, and can do this !!!
