Today November 13th is exactly a month of being sleeved. I can't believe I am down 30 lbs. I feel so much better and can't get past the thought that this is actually working. I have been on many diets as many of you on here have, but I never had these results. Please tell me that the weight will continue to come off as long as I keep doing what I am doing...which is following doctors orders.

I started at 308 pounds and my experience is that weight loss slowly down, but take advantage of the "fast phase".

I lost nearly 30 in the first month. By 6 months i had lost nearly 100#. It took me to 14 months to lose 150#. I lost the last bit over an extended period of time while "in maintenance". Some lose faster, some lose slower... the important thing is to keep working the sleeve. Maintenance is basically the same game as weight loss.

Thanks @@CowgirlJane I'll have to keep in mind that maintenance is basically like the weight loss phase. You've done wonderful. Thanks for sharing your info this helps with my confidence.

I feel the same way! Today is one month down... 26 pounds even as of this morning. It's so surreal! It would have taken me months to lose that much before. Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the great work!

If you keep following your program, it will work. There will be stalls, but the long-term trajectory will be down, down, down. Keep up the good work!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
