I had VSG almost 2 months ago and while I am down about 40 pounds (which is great) I was wondering if anyone had problems with their weightloss slowing down after a while.  If so, how long did it take for your loss to slow? 

I find my weight loss is a lot slower then other people my size and height.

But... I do remember reading that VSG surgery you lose the weight slower because your body is still absorbing a lot of the food. whereas with RNY it's a bit faster.

It also depends on your starting weight.  I'm 228 right now and when I asked on my regional group that I wasn't losing fast enough I was told that I was a lightweight.  If you are 300 - 400 pounds you will lose a lot faster.

 I had my VSG about 5 weeks ago.  I've lost 20 pounds since then.  I really feel that my PCOS and hormones are slowing me down.  I've had 2 periods since surgery!  I'm also a grouchy bear about half the time.  I'm hoping things will settle down, but I guess it's just the continuing curse of PCOS.

I'm trying extra hard now to eliminate the carbs, since I know we're more sensitive.  Hoping that helps.

I have not had my VSG yet, but am in 4 weeks. I was told forthright thta women with PCOS have a more difficult time losing, so where a   "normal" person might lose 60% someone with PCOS might be more likely to lose 45%, it will be more difficult and take longer.  Also more difficult to maintain, you will have to be more diligent. 

I am glad I was told this ahead of time, so I won't be disappointed when the time comes.  

Good luck ladies!
