190lbs to lose.



Recommended Posts

I am going to do revision if all goes as planned from band to sleeve however I'd like to lose approx 19lbs. Is that even possible with the sleeve? When I go in on the 21st again I will talk with my Dr. She did my band and seems to think sleeve would be a good option. I do not want rny but is that the only way to lose that much?! :/

Yes it is possible, one guy in my area made headlines after losing over 200 lbs.

It is very much possible. It takes hard work and commitment - but if you follow your surgon's guidelines, and commit to a new life style it is surely achievable.

Holly, a very inspirational member in this board, is on a journey to lose 300 lbs. I think she has already lost nearly 200+ lbs now. You should take a look at her blog: http://www.300poundsdown.com/. I always go back there for inspiration whenever the goal weight seems too distant for me. When you see such committed people, I think it motivates us to not give up.

All the best in your weight loss journey! :)

Thanks! It will be hard but with this band it's impossible! Support groups and talking always helps, however I need to know its possible before paying out so much and putting my body thru more!

      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!

      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!
