Obese After Sleeve?

Anyone?

Surgeon says I will loose 80-120lbs and I have age on my side so closer to 120 This will put me at 180 lbs which is still obese according to those crazy charts!! I am 5'5"

Has your experience been similar?

Did your surgeon give you a realistic measurement?

Have you lost more/less?

While the scale is a good tool for motivation. I am starting to think that fat and muscle mass ratio is a stronger indicator of health and progress. Rather than bmi' date=' which does not account for the differential of weight of fat and muscle. Thoughts?

I've read so many times that the sleeve is used in a two part surgery. Could that be the solution to losing the remaining?

It was originally used as part 1 of a 2 part surgery, but they saw so much success with the sleeve on its own, they started using it as a stand alone procedure.

that is a chart of real people at various height & weights. :)

seemed kinda like it'd be cool to post, so people can see what they would potentially look like at a certain weight.. not all of 'em are filled in, but hey, maybe you could fill one in yourself & help it get completed! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

        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.

      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!
