Any sleevers had a start weight of around 400? If so, how are your results?

My high weight was 565 and thanks to the sleeve I am getting ready to dip below 400 pounds for the first time in years!

I started at 415 - went on pre-op diet on 10/13/15 and had surgery on 11/3/15. So far, I have lost 72 lbs.

My surgeon told me today that the sleeve doesn't guarantee loss of the same amount of weight as bypass so I was worried.

I don't think any surgery "guarantees" a certain amount of loss. You still have to follow your program.

I think the biggest difference when it comes to weight loss is with the Bypass surgery you lose faster.

Here is another one for you. I started at 449, went on the liquird pre-op diet, dropped down to 419 the day I had the sleeve and now I am at 402.. so in less then 30 days I lost almost 50 pounds.

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
