My surgery date was Aug 20th. Day of start of liquid diet, Aug 6th I weighed in at 297, date of surgery Aug 20th 288, today is my 3month anniversary, i'm down 37lbs. I have a lot of restriction. I've lost a lot of inches. Good luck! I'm happy that I've revised. The sleeve feels nothing like the band, however, I get a little more heartburn than I've ever gotten, but its manageable, I just have to watch what I eat.
