Weight Loss

What is the average weight you lose in a year?

[Chimera 644]

Statically for all sleeve patients? One can expect to lose 50% of one's excess body weight in the first 6 months post surgery, another 25% in the next 6 months, and the final 25% over the 12 months following that.

Now mind you your mileage may vary - there are folks on this board who started with very high BMI's who lost all of the weight in 6-9 months - others who lose much more slowly - it is all over the map. Age, genetics, starting weight, compliance with surgeon's and nutritionists guidleines, how much you move your body are all factors that contribute.

Personally, I hit 50% down around my 3 month mark - thanks to pre-op losses.
