I may not have made myself very clear. My surgery was 3 weeks ago, band to sleeve revision and I have only lost 8 lbs. IF you go by what others post on this site, (which of course many of us do and is why we are here), others note their weight loss at 20, 30 and even 40 pounds in their first month! Yes, I know my stomach is healing, but aren't the others with more significant weight losses dealing with the same healing issues? Of course they are. I have heard that revision patients lose much slower than straight sleevesters, but I don't understand why that would be. Also, I have been trying on tight clothes which are still tight. I will keep on keeping on. What else can I do? lol. Thanks for your responses.

Revisions lose slower, did your doctor explain that to you?

Thats what i said above but no, he did not! If I had known, I'd have been prepared. I'd still like to know why medically and physically this is the case.
