Anyone go from band to Sleeve having trouble loosing?

I lost 91 lbs,with my band. I had a Peanut Butter incident which forced me to have my all my saline taken out in December. My doc then talked to me about the sleeve. So I was sleeved March 28th. Between December and March I gained almost 30 lbs, I went a little crazy figuring I was gonna be unable to eat for some time. (I know, don't judge me, I regret it now, but I can't change the past.)

Anyway, now my weight will not come off. I'm not eating nearly as much, I began working out the last three weeks, I'm eating much healthier foods but my scale just will not move.

I keep thinking my body is in shock from all the crazy eating and the nothing much. Also because I only have 50 lbs to lose so now it is just not falling off as easy as the first 80 did.

I'm just lost and was wondering if anyone else went from band to sleeve that had already lost a significant amount of weigh was having any issues.

I'm a revision and a slow loser. I think it's not coming off because as fast because you're closer to your goal. I say, follow your plan and keep exercising. It'll come off. It will just take time.

I was told that with a lower BMI, we won't lose as fast. I hate that, but will be glad just to be losing at all. I have gained almost 30 pounds in the last year (ten just since they took out SOME of my fill last month).

Yeah I will definately be a slow loser. Had my revision may 9th and am at 194 (3 lbs up from surgery day actually). I want to try for 145 so I also 'only' have about 50 to lose. A girl I work with who had her sleeve done april 23rd has already lost 40. It will happen, don't worry, just be patient. We've just already had our fast loss with the band so we'll have to be more patient

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
