Measurements mean ALOT, I was sleeved on Oct. 18th and I am now down 31 pounds, BUT my cloths are now very very loose and I am by-passing size 16 pretty much, and will be in a 14 before I know it. I plan on taking my measurements again tomorrow and know I will see several inches gone, EXCEPT my boobs, for some reason they never seem to go away whenever I lost weight in the past, my husband loves it but me, not so much!

I'm eating anything I want only in small portions, I have even eaten pizza, homemade and healthy, it seems the more I eat the more I lose weight. Constipation has been somewhat of an issue but between Colace and Fiber gummies I think I have it under control.

This has been great,the best thing I ever did, I Love my sleeve, I feel normal again and I can lose weight finally! :D

Sleeved 10/25 @300 lbs. I am down to 260. I haven't been taking my measurements...i had before surg and now cant find where i hid them! Most of my clothes are baggy but haven't had to buy any. Still not getting enough prot or Water in.

I can only eat 1/8 to 1/4 c food at a time. Can't do eggs, coffee, dense meats, dairy. So eating choices are sort of limited to stuff like tuna or chk salad...bean Soup, vienna sausage, soft cheese, refried Beans, prot shakes. Feeling almost normal, but still get tired if i do a lot. I am 50/F.. 5'10". Good to hear from other Oct sleevers!

Same here. My bust has always been out if proportion with the rest of me. Although my hubby says they are shrinking. I certainly have no prob with that!

Oct 23rd here - going through my 2nd.. or 3rd stall? :( frustrated. I lost exactly 30 lbs and the scale isn't moving. I feel like I look the same and trying not to let old thoughts creep in and demoralize my good intentions. Maybe I will try the measurements thing

idk guys

As frustrating as this can be, it is so good to hear other perspectives of those who been through being sleeved and have a basis of knowledge and experience. Thank you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
