Hello All,
I am being sleeved in one week! I'm excited and nervous.
I wanted to know from all of you who have had surgery already: how much weight did you lose in the first month after surgery? Also, how much did you lose month 2 post op?
I know everyone is different and each person loses differently! I am looking for an average weight loss so that I go into this with a reasonable expectation of how much weight I might lose!
Thanks in advance.

    5' 6", SW 290 last November

    Lost -60lbs before surgery 6/15/15 : 230lbs pre-op

    Lost -32lbs in 6 weeks since surgery 198lbs today

    Hard to believe that another 8lbs will mark 100lbs lost. Crazy!!
    Take it one day at a time and believe in yourself.
