Do the sleevers..and bypassers loose more weight than the plicaters?

I think the % is higher initially depending on what you have to loose. As ours is higher than Lapbanders. But a lot of it falls back on the persons willingness to stick to plan too...

I went in today for my month check up actually it is 5 weeks and he called me his special patient. .. because of my pain tolerance. .. he assured me my surgery was flawless...and it is just a super tight stitch. He said he is glad he did not do a bypass on me (I was thinking in my head ..dude that was never an option) he also said I was doing better than his bypass patients regarding weight loss. I am down about 20 pounds since surgery date and 31 since I started this entire process. I am not sure if I am on schedule. Am I really gonna lose 20 a month? I am finally almost at 3 bottled waters. I am working hard on the Protein. . Eating tuna yogurt eggs and drinking slim fast high protein. I have had a couple Smart Ones.. I can only get about half of it down. Oh I am trying to eat a Protein Bar now... (not feeling it) I do find that i am getting hungry every 2/3 hours and that kinda freaks me out.I am feeling better. .everyday... I finally went on a walk a few blocks and back.. and I feel good ..tired but good. Sorry I am rambling.

I'm glad to hear all is well. I don't know what your weight loss total will be. I lost 20 that first month too then 20 more basically over the next four months lol.. 15 more to go to goal! It's slow but ill take it. I also feel way stronger as I've been working out a lot the last two months. So although the scale is slow my body had changed so much... It's great;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
