3 month weight loss after gastric sleeve.

[VsgKitt]

42lb loss.
Just took 2ns photo in pj's that weren't baggy 3 months ago. Just crazy!

Congratulations!

Wow! Congratulations!

Well done
How do you train yourself to eat less? I have 4 stone to lose!

Wow!
Tell me about it... I have 4-5 stone to lose. I'd love to know how it works if you don't mind.

Well done How do you train yourself to eat less? I have 4 stone to lose!

There no training. I literally cannot physically eat much!

Well done, such a difference! What do you eat now on an average day?

They take 85% of your stomach, preventing you from overeating.

The part of the stomach that makes the hunger hormone is also removed which makes things SO much easier.

Does it take away the boredom hormone?
I'm sure that would help me from over-eating!

Well done op!

Unfortunately not 😂 It's not easy, all the psychological issues are still present. Stress eating, comfort eating etc... It is very difficult mentally

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss!

I'm 4 and a half weeks post op, gastric band removal/revision to gastric bypass and your weight loss is very inspiring

Ooh. A few ladies I was with were having band to sleeve convertions. How are you finding it so far? Are you still on puree?

"The part of the stomach that makes the hunger hormone is also removed which makes things SO much easier."

Oh that's interesting

I wonder if there's a less drastic way to remive the hormone.

Ooh. A few ladies I was with were having band to sleeve convertions. How are you finding it so far? Are you still on puree?

I've recently moved from puree/mush to regular/textured food. So far, so good.

Overall, my experience with the band/bypass conversion has been very positive. I feel overwhelming relief at getting the problematic gastric band out of my body!

Well done!

Do you miss eating a proper meal (I'm assuming you can't)

Well done, my friend lost a lot of weight with the same procedure about 5 years ago.

@IslaPineappple

Well done!

I can eat anything in small portions.

Having steak, mushrooms and asparagus tonight.

Sometimes it's frustrating not being able to eat alot, but that's a mental issue, as I will be physically full.

I was looking at the band. Very glad I didn't get that. Also the balloon. It's concerning how many people have issues with them.

Has she maintained her loss?

VsgKitt no unfortunately she hasn’t although obviously everyone is different. I think she lost over 40 kilos and has put about 30 back on. She’s hard on herself but she still weighs less than before which has got to be good for her health.

Did you pay for it your self or was it on the nhs? If you did pay for it, how much was it?

Such an amazing difference! Well done!

Well done Lady! Great that you are feeling so good x

I was first recommended the op by my GP and referred to the NHS weight loss services in April but was told it would be about 3 years (still not even recieved the referral) due to covid wait list times so I looked at UK prices (£10-11k) which I couldn't afford so I went to Turkey and paid £2.5k

Amazing! Please keep your Instagram updated, I enjoyed the photos there
