Weight loss percentages?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how much they lost within the first six month, starting with day of surgery weight, as well as whether a virgin or revision surgery? Anyone know the percentages of expected weight loss within the first month? Thanks.

There's a good tool at https://www.realize.com/do-i-qualify/potential-results%C2'> where you can put in your information and it shows you the three surgeries (band, bypass, sleeve) and what the expected weight loss is at 6 months and a year and long-term success rates. Of course, everyone is different, but this does show averages... half the people are below and half the people are above.

Great tool but does anyone know how accurate this is, I input my information and numbers did not seem very accurate to me. More weight loss with the sleeve than with the bypass?

Was accurate for what I lost 6 months post op. At the 50% range.

Too bad they don't include the Duodenal Switch in their numbers. I don't understand why they don't since the VSG is the first step of the DS and without the DS the VSG would not even be an option.

I love being able to eat everything I love to eat without worrying about actual calorie count. I only worry about Protein and Fat levels, and a stay aware of carbs but not really.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
