Slow weight loss and bump under port incision

[shay5413 6]

Seasoned sleevers, what was your weight loss like? I have read several posts where people have talked about slow weight loss after revision. I know our metabolisms are slower already since we had the band, but I haven't really lost any weight in the last week or so, just 3 was post op. Just curious as to others experiences....

Also, I noticed a bump under one portion of my incision where they removed my port. Last week, the entire incision was a little hard, now it is just at one end. Did anyone experience this? How long until it went away?

Good Morning,

I had my revision the end of August 2014 started at 227 and I'm now at a stand still at 193! I'm really at a lost I haven't lost anymore weight I have been steady toggling between 189-194 I can't get out of this slump and my surgery anniversary is fast approaching! I'm not sure if this count as slow are just stopped?

I had my revision six weeks ago. I hit a stall around week 4 for two weeks. I lost 3 lbs this last week putting me at 30lbs lost so far. Stick to Protein, don't graze, and get your Water in. The scale will move.

I had the revision in August 2013 and lost 30lbs pretty quickly but the weight loss has stopped all together and it's frustrating. I lost 135lbs from the band and got pregnant gained some weight and I'm still 60lbs from where I want to be but the weight isn't moving! I thought this was just me the sleeve is a much slower way for me to lose weight but I know much safer way since I had a lot of vomitting with the band.

I'm not eating bad foods, I exercise reguarly and the weight isnt' going anywhere....

@@shay5413 I haven't heard that our metabolism is different from someone who wasn't banded. Why would that be?

Hi Tazwella,

I was banded for almost 14 yrs and went straight to sleeve surgery. I have heard from my dr, nutritionist, as well as other patients that our bodies will not lose weight as fast as someone who have had only one surgery. I assume it is because our metabolism has already slowed down from our first surgery, because we were already putting less calories into it. Hope that helps

I went from band to sleeve on 4/27/15. I too hit a stall that lasted weeks but finally broke. My bf had sleeve same day as me and hadn't had band...she is losing faster. Even during my long stall my clothes were loosening so I tried not to be doscouraged. Protein and Water going in this body and slow is better than nothing! Band was my friend but I don't miss puking!
