need2bthin! 235 Posted April 12, 2013 After weighing my options the sleeve or the band.....I'm going with the sleeve!!! Now I'm starting to get a lil nervous and excited. But I'm curious how much weight has everyone lost with the sleeve and how long did it take? I can't wait to get into shape and fulfill a lifelong goal of finishing a 5k race! This has always been my dream and I tried training last year but my weight really hurt my knees. So maybe within 2 years post op this dream with come dream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharonintx 1,275 Posted April 12, 2013 A month out and stuck at a 20 lb loss so far. It's the dreaded stall. But I'm happy with the 20 lbs and I know the scale will move again any day now. 1 need2bthin! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerrysway 46 Posted April 12, 2013 I am just over 5 months out and down 82 pounds. I still have quite a bit to go but am very happy with my progress to date and my only regret is that I didn't have the sleeve done sooner. Good luck to you. 9 ClinicalNurse82, ProudGrammy, Molly3 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m_garza 1 Posted April 12, 2013 Any recommendations... Been stalled for 2 weeks. I'm 1 month post op and that scale doesn't seem to move. I drink 64+ oz. of Water and I drink enough Protein.

Webchickadee 716 Posted April 12, 2013 I'm approx. 11 months post-op and I've lost 134 lbs (50 lbs to go). I am deliriously happy with my new life and looking forward to things getting even better. I haven't been this weight since I was 17 (I'm 43 now). I'm getting back to all the athletics I loved as a teenager, and now that I'm doing those sports and activities again, it makes me FEEL like a teenager! The sleeve was the best decision of my life and I wish I could have had it done 20 years ago. 6 Dannipo, Capricornrose, Chellennunley and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
