Looking for a surgery buddy

[jenlev67 0]

I've only lost 21 pounds since surgery (yesterday was 2 months.) I was expecting more weight loss and quicker weight loss. Don't get me wrong. I am pleased and still thrilled I had it done.

I'm 3 wks post op down 13 lbs. I was hoping for more as well. I'm not exercising so much because of the pain I'm having plus I'm still so tired! I'm a revision the band was hell. Any one have any comments on the pain and how long it will last? It is mostly in the area my band was.

Hi. I'm a revision as well (11/6/14). The pain was more significant than post lapbamd for sure but the surgery was much more invasive as well. I will tell that it does get much better around week 4. My weight loss seemed slow in the beginning as well but I seemed to be more swollen after this surgery and because of the pain the first few weeks there wasn't a ton of exercise going on for me. I honestly thought something was wrong. I felt pressure and a pulling sensation that was quite annoying the first few weeks. I am just a little over 2 months post op and am down almost 30lbs (I need to update my weight ticker). We have to get the exercise on ladies...it really does help, at least for me it does make all the difference in losing a fwe ounces a week to losing a few pounds.
