This is best answered by your bariatric surgeon, but most people lose weight over 1-2 years. How much you lose and your ability to keep it off depend on how disciplined you are about not overeating. Many people stretch the size of the sleeve so that it ends up holding almost the same amount of food as it did before the surgery. As a result they regain most of the weight lost initially.
Keep exercising. Start Aquatic Therapy.
