lap to VSG weight loss less

Had my first post op visit yesterday.  Was told I might not lose weight as fast with the VSG because I had the band prior (had band removed when VSG was done).  Has anyone else experienced this? Just wondering.  I am following the diet, walking and active.  Only 1 week out and didn't lose anything.  

It's not uncommon for people to lose no weight in the first week after surgery because they actually gain weight while in surgery due to all the fluids that they're injected with.  So don't worry.. stick to your plan and you'll lose the weight you want to lose.  

And it's also common, from what I understand from reading and lurking here, for people to lose a bit more slowly with revision surgeries.  But you'll still get there!

Thanks so much..  I figured as much but helps to hear from those who have traveled the road ahead.  

I was told the same thing. Weight loss will be slower and it has been. I will be a year out next wee****ep losing and gaining the same 5-8 pounds. At the same time, life has happen for me in this last year... Several family deaths and an engagement so I am not concentrating as hard as I could I guess.
