What Percentage Of Your Excess Weight Did You Lose?

[READY TO LOSE IT 91]

For those of you near or at your goal weight what percentage of excess weigh did you lose? Just wondering how folks on this forum compare to the statistics.

I lost about 70% of my excess body weight.... i am right above the statistic my surgeon gave me (he says sleevers lose about 60-65%....)

[coops 1,790]

I've lost 75% of my personal goal and nearer 90% of my surgeon's... that being said, I am not at goal yet! 9 lbs off my surgeon's and 20lbs from my personal goal!

Lol forgive me, how do I figure that out ? Started at 204, pre op 198, current 168

[Illusionalta 150]

I've lost 35% of my total body weight, and 70% of my excess

[ShouldBlittler 89]

I had exactly 100 pounds to lose and as of this morning, I have lost 51 pounds and have 49 to go. Surgery was 6/20/12.

You take what your "normal" BMI / weight should be ( for me @ 5'2" it is 110-135 depending on which table you choose) & subtract that from what you weighed pre-op. So for me, I weighed 220 pre-op minus 120=100 pounds of excess weight. I was told I could expect to lose 56-60 pounds & I hope they are wrong. So far I have lost 26 pounds at 4 weeks which is 26%.

Thanks for the responds! Everyone seems to be doing great!Congrats to everyone I can't wait to join you. My Dr tells me his practice average between 75-83% loss for his sleeve patients. Here's hoping....I know everyone is different

I've lost about 80% of my excess weight (to my stretch goal) and almost half my total body weight so far. Still going and I'm going to try to lose another 20-40 lbs. So it gets harder the closer you get to goal, but it seems to have a lot to do with your practices as to how far you get. Not for everyone I'm sure, but for many that seems the case.

I'm a month out from surgery, and I've lost 25% of my excess body weight. I know it will slow down between the 3rd and 4th month, but I'll take advantage while I can.

[JLOR 47]

I am almost 5 weeks post op. have 60 pounds excess and I'm down 38 already. So I think it's possible to lose more! Hope that helps.

I'm somewhere between 70-75% of my excess weight lost, and coming up on 2 years post-op.

[Sleeved&Hopeful 182]

Almost 100% excess weight. Hard to believe! I am very strict about Protein first and no drinking when eating and I really think those simple rules have gotten me this far. They are really easy for me to follow.

[Geeewhy 30]

Right at 85% right now. Hope to get another 30-35 off.

[ab76307 22]

90% at almost a year out... But that is with my ideal weight being at 150 which I think is way to thin for someone my height.
