laceemouse 631 Posted August 29, 2016 I'm about a month out from surgery. Can you loss too much weight? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App There are so many variables, the main one being how much do you need to lose?? Most people lose quickly at first, especially those who have a LOT to lose, but then it slows down. The sleeve will stretch, you will be able to eat more, your hunger will come back, etc. Most people have to start working to lose weight after a few weeks or months. I am pre-op though, I am just going by what I have read and heard. Always best to ask your doctor or NUT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
