glitter eyes 1,398 Posted August 11, 2016 I actually gained nine pounds my first week post op. Then it began to come off. Try to have patience and just stay focused on healing, staying hydrated and sticking to your plan and the weight will begin to come off!! Congrats on your surgery.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 11, 2016 You have just had major surgery, we're pumped full of IV fluids in the hospital, and are swollen. I highly recommend that you stay off the scale for a while. Just focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidikat72 935 Posted August 11, 2016 I lost nothing the first two weeks. Your body is reeling from the major trauma of surgery. Stay off the scale and just focus on healing and getting your fluids/protein goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izarigo 7 Posted August 11, 2016 I'm just scared because when I had the original sleeve done I never lost any weight. 2 years later Dr agreed to do a revision of my sleeve (plactation). This is my last chance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

izarigo 7 Posted August 11, 2016 I had my band removed and converted to a sleeve 2 years ago. I was depressed because after 90 days I never lost any weight. The doctor gave me diet pills and that how I lost 15 lbs . The diet pills didn't work any more . So he agreed to do a revision of the sleeve what he calls a plactation.

What are you doing differently now?I'm not sure the doctor really didn't know him self WHY it failed. He said about 10 percent of people that get the sleeve it does not work because of boby dynamics The second time around I told him I wanted to see pictures for reasurance. If I was not a surgical tech I would have taught he did nothing to me. Some people say it depends on how aggressive the surgeon is. So he said I would probably only lose 20 more pounds 30 would be over achieving Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
