how much weight can I expect to lose with the gastric sleeve monthly

I am getting a little bit worried, is it normal/common to lose just 8k in the first month? I thought you supposed to lose more in the first 2 months, right?

8 kilos in the first month is awesome!!! Seriously, don't rush to lose all your weight in the first two months...you didn't put it on overnight and it won't leave overnight. It isn't even necessarily healthy to lose so much so quickly, with or without surgery! ..i am in week 3 post sleeve and I have lost abt 6 kilos so far. If I lose 8 kilos when the month is over, I will be over the moon!

I had my surgery 4,5 month ago. I lost 8 + 5 + 6 + 6 the following month's.

I believe that people who accumulate their acces weight around the belly are those who loose a lot of weight in the first month. Since a big belly means full intestines...

I am going to have the sleeve done next month and i am very excited, so all info you can give me will help.

 I have been fighting my weight for about 42 years and now hope

this will give me a new chance at a new life.

It all depends on a lot of factors commitment be a huge factor !!! As far as the same as the lap band !!! I believe that's false.... I'm 5 and 1/2 months out and 94 lbs down .. I pushed myself and did what I was told and exercised a ton! !! All I can say is I LOVE MY SLEEVE AND WOULDN'T DO IT ANY OTHER WAY... but that's me!!! :-)

According to my dr/nut, I am averaging 3% better weight loss then their gastric bypass patients. Which means at each weigh in so far, I am over the benchmark by 3-5 lbs. I have slowed down with the loss but slow and steady wins plus when I don't lose lbs, I loss inches. I recommend taking inches along with lbs.
