elpaso73 66 Posted September 13, 2013 I was sleeved on april, 3rd. My doc didn't put me on preop diet. Post op, I had a leak complication and had to stay in hospital for 5 weeks. No loss during that period. I started dropping after May 15th approx. So it's been like 4 month I'm on track: I lost 72 pounds so far. I was a low bmi (35). No need to say how happy I am.
