Hi I am very curious to know different ppl's losses over a 6 month period! My dr believes i will lose 6-8 stone (84-100lbs) in 6 months has anyone had that sort of success???

I'm at 3 months out, and am down 49lbs (includes pre-op loss), and according to the dietician, am right on track. The sleeve is supposed to help people lose about 65 percent of their excess body fat, if that helps. And that would be in the first year. After that, I understand it is up to us. Good luck to you!

Hard to say. There are so many variables on how any individual's weight loss goes..age, starting weight, gender etc...there are quite a few on this site who have lost that amount in 6 months for sure! I am almost 7 months post op and have lost almost 60. But I'm a little older and my BMI was just under 40 when I had surgery, so I think those factor in a little.

I was very surprised when he said that much! I have starting bmi of 59 it's now down to 54 and I am 5 days post op lost 32lb since pre op started on 27th feb

I'm 4 months post -op and I'm down 54lbs but that includes my pre-op diet of 15lbs

I am 4 months post op and down 48 pounds and my bariatric team said I am above average for % of excess weight lost at this point of recovery. I have lost 40% of my excess body weight.

Wow amazing losses, I have a large amount to lose also

I saw my surgeon today for our final visit and to send everything to the insurance.. This was one of my questions and he did tell me that you should lose 60% of your excess weight in the first 6 months.. His example was easy to understand.. If you are overweight (using BMI and height/weight chart) by 100 pounds and do EVERYTHING you are directed to, you should expect to lose 60 lbs in the first 6 months..

Naturally there are oodles of variations and circumstances that can make your loss more or less, but that's the gist.
