  1. Well I am only 5 days post op so I am no expert yet. I read all the stories about going from a band to sleeve is not as successful and it kind of took the wind out of my sails. The recovery is harder but nothing you can't deal with. I am going to go back to work today. When I had the band Iost 100lbs in 8.5 months and was soooooo happy until I got really sick. I am praying to get the same results with this!


  2. Thanks for the encouragement!!!! Just the all Fluid diet getting to me. Not hungry just bored!! I am pretty active, I coach figure skating and plan on returning to the ice today. Hopefully getting back to normal will trigger everything!!!


  3. Hi all! I just got sleeved on 4/30! I had a gastric band in June of 2012, had a band revision in March 2013, band removal in Feb of 2014 and finally sleeved on 4/30. My starting weight with band was 317lbs. My weight before sleeve was 274. Pre op got me down to 264 and today I am 263! I thought that 5 days post op would have showed a little more in the scale but I guess not. Is this normal?


  4. Hi! I am a Jersey Girl too!!! I had the lap band done in June of 2012. My starting weight was 317lbs. I lost 100lbs in 8 1/2 months. I became very sick and had to have the band revised in March of 2013. My weight the day of revision was 216. Since the revision band was larger than the original mr Dr could never get it to work again. I am currently 265 lbs and am having the sleeve done on April 30th. I LOVE reading your journey and wish you all the best.
