How many ounces of meat can you eat at 1 year post op?
MsGal replied to miller1109's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm glad I found this thread..... my weight loss has slowed. I am 9 weeks post op but started at a lower weight and BMI. I need to not expect to lose it all so fast and be patient in the process. Thanks for all your inputs....very helpful for me. Lisa -

May 19th band to sleeve-surgery buddy?
MsGal replied to shay5413's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Today I am 6 weeks post op....25 lbs down. The Dr said my ideal body weight is 160 for my height (I'd like lower)....that would put me 15 lbs away from my goal. Revising my band to the sleeve was the BEST thing I could ever do.......Hope all my friends are just as happy with the sleeve.... Lisa -

My new surgeon said there are more people with complications than successes. He also said they are doing very few bands anymore! Sleeves are the way to go....according to him. Looking forward to not tossing my cookies everyday! Good luck with everyone's journey!

low BMI trying to switch from band to sleeve
MsGal replied to eileenrae's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also have a low BMI.... Dr. had no problem revising to sleeve (May 21, 2015...in 21 days). Actually he said he does so many of these due to the problems. He doesn't so the band anymore. Can't wait. -
Observations on having band removed.
MsGal replied to Bndtoslv's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Is there a reason they won't do the sleeve at the same time? Mine is being done at the same time...curious
