Band to Sleeve Revision-Weight loss?
everyone is different you really can't compare other peoples speed with your own
starting weight , age , genetics, lifestyle all effect your weight loss
if you did good with the crap band you will do great with the sleeve , if you ate crap with the band you will also with the sleeve and need therapy to help with eating disorders
Hi There! I had a revision from the band to the sleeve in March. I have the band for 8 years and just recently starting having bad reflux. This was the only issue I had with the band. I was able to lose 70 lbs and keep it off until I started having the reflux and had to have a unfill. Then I gained all the weight back and then some. I did lose slow with the band and am also losing slow with the sleeve. I am very careful not to over eat and measure everything which I did not do with the band. As you know, the band tells you when you are full. I do not get that full sensation yet. Of course everyone is different, but I liked my band, and LOVE my sleeve =]
Best of luck to you!
I am happy with my progress. I lost 80+ lbs slowly and steadily with the band (which I regained, plus some, with an empty slipped band). I lost a nice chunk the first month post op after Sleeve, and have continued to lose 1-2 lbs a week since... so I guess I am still considered a slow loser. However, I am not quite 3 months out and down 30 lbs. I have no doubt that I will turtle my way to the finish line.
