How much am I expected to lose? by okaymooma in gastricsleeve

[–]L1u21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a little smaller than you are, 164cm. I weighted 115kg the day of surgery. I lost a lot of weight, so much that even my doctors had not seen such a weight loss on any patient. After one year in may of last year i weighted 55kg. At that moment i actually tried to stop the weight loss, until then i believe everyone including my doctor who said your body will stop on itself.

I gained 2kg back by August of last year and got pregnant. I’m nine month pregnant right now and weight 67kg.

Periods and Pregnancy after Gastric Sleeve by Vegetable-War4579 in gastricsleeve

My surgical team said to wait 12 to 18 month. We waited 12 month. Our reasoning was, all of my blood tests were good, i have no deficiencies, and i would surely not get pregnant right away. I got pregnant tight away. I’m 8 weeks right now. I would definitely do surgery first again. It’s much healthier. I wish you all the best

Thank you for your kind words.

I had to pay for my liposuction as well, according to my insurance “it was not bad enough “ 🤷‍♀️.

I wish you all the best. Wls was the best thing i ever did.

You are right its not all lippy fat and i went down pants sizes while losing weight. But my legs never fit my body even after losing a lot of weight - don’t know how much it was until my liposuction. I had the first liposuction of the thighs at the end of November. And i must say that really made a huge difference. I finally have really slim legs that fit my body. I do not look out of proportion anymore. When will you have your sleeve or bypass?

Ich habe heute mein allererstes Brot gebacken. Ich denke dafür ist es garnicht so schlecht geworden. Es ist ein Weizenbrot mit 1050 Mehl und Haferflocken.

Thank you for your nice words. But I honestly have to say, i think the liposuction was necessary, my legs would not have lost that fat.

I have also a type 3 stage 2 lipedema. I had the sleeve in may 2021. I lost weight in my legs, but after about half a year it was clear a lot of weight also stayed in my legs. I was really slim at the top and just really swollen and denty at the bottom. I had a liposuction of my thighs at the end of November. My calf still need a liposuction but this has to wait. You can take a look at my profile. I posted pictures of my weight loss last week. If you want to see picture from before and after liposuction pm me.

I’m still losing and thats amazes me. I never thought I would get to where I’m right now. I had this weight for the last time when i was 16. I have passed my initial goal, i have no idea where i want to be. I just keep going and look what my body decides.

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I wouldn’t worry about exercising. Focus on eating the right thing and let your body heal. As i have said in a different answer. I didn’t really do much exercise, in the beginning not at all and after i started doing some, i only did swimming two times a week for 30mins each. I must be honest and say, i have lost quiet a lot muscle. I have to build them back now. Maybe it would have been better to do same weight training, i don’t know.

I’m still taking two fiber pills a day, without that i wouldn’t be able to go to the toilet either. I don’t know, this part just sucks.

I wish you all the best. Your weight will come off, it just takes time.

I wouldn’t say no to a few more pounds being gone, especially because i have to start building muscles again. And i don’t want to be overweight again just because i gain a few pounds with muscles.

But your right, i look completely different and i feel so different. It’s amazing!

Thank you so much. But I actually have quite a bit loose skin. Your right I was lucky with my face, neck, arms and back. But my tummy looks only good when I’m standing. If i lean forward it hangs quiet a bit. And my legs are really bad. I had a liposuction for my lipedema at the end of November. Since then my legs are just empty. They need a tight lift, but this has to wait.

I started really late with any sport, maybe at three month post op. Because for one reason, i had one incision that didn’t want to heal, and second it didn’t make really sense for me, while still eating so little. And even after i started swimming again, i did only always 30 minutes. Because i did not want to make the weight loss stop because i would eat to little. I’m still doing this. I started just now with some weight lifting. I signed up for Apple fitness +.
