Band to Sleevers how many pounds did yu drop in the first 2 months ?
pirate_rn replied to nowornever14's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had band in for 5 yrs. I lost 50lbs. It was unfilled for 1 yr and I gained all back. The day of sleeve I was same weight as when banded. Currently I am two months out and have lost 25lbs. I wish I would have taken mats because I can tell alot more in inches. -
Hi I am new to group. I had surgery on July 15th. My weight loss is 18lbs. Just wondering is that is average or slow. Thanks!

I am doing better since nutritionist appt Friday. I have done a lot better about getting in food period. I was eating like once a day....which was reason for slow weight loss and headaches. Now scale finally moving. Hit 20 lbs today. Tomorrow is 4 weeks out. -

Hi tabby! I am in Fayetteville. Are you in Greenville? How much weight loss have you had? -
Is there anyone out there who regrets getting the sleeve?
pirate_rn replied to Jschultes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my band unfilled for a year before considering sleeve. I also gained all my weight back. I can so relate to eating slider foods. But with the sleeve it has Ben different. Food actually goes in without getting "hung up" It def takes some reworking of the mind for the sleeve. I am three weeks out and have lost 18lbs. Dr also told me wieght loss is not as significant for a reversal. I had a sig amount of scar tissue as well. -
I also had band removal and sleeve. I suffered with acid reflux at first. It has gradually gotten better. I feel like I wasted 6 yrs w band. It was so miserable. I am so nervous about not loosing the weight with this!

Hi! RN in NC. I had sleeve on July 15th. So I currently am about 3 1/2 weeks out. So far I have lost 18lbs. I really see more in inches though. So frustrating be a use I thought scale would move a lot faster.
