. I am three weeks post sleeve surgery and I am very disappointed I have not lost more weight. I lost 17 pounds the 1 st week but nothing after that. I am also surprised that I can eat 1 cup of food. I lost more with my band.

I had my gastric band removed 1 year ago due to erosion under a different insurance plann(Cigna). I now have Aetna and they required me to do a 4 month nutrition and medical monthly visit. The only requirement was that I maintain my current weight or lose and provide documentation that I lost weight and maintained it during my time with the gastric band. I chose a hospital within the network and I ended out paying only my yearly deductible Good- luck.

I hear the gurgling of food or liquids at times. I know my band was removed as I waited one year before my revision.

I did what Bittersweet did and had no shame and wore no bra, panties and wore pantyhose tights and the lightest t-shirt I could find under my clothes then stripped down to the bare essentials. I was under by 1 pound for a total of 13 pounds in 12 days.

We are having if on the same day. Best of luck.
