My physician and most bariatric web sites say 60% for the AVERAGE, this is the chart below:

1. What is your ideal weight?

There are a few common ways to calculate ideal weight. This calculator shows your ideal weight for all of the different methods to determine this number. I typically use the largest number, which is usually the high body mass index number.

2. How much excess weight do you have to lose?

Current Weight – Ideal Weight = Excess Weight

3. How to calculate your expected weight loss:

Excess Weight x .60 = Expected Weight Loss

4. How to calculate your new weight:

Current Weight – Expected Weight Loss = New Weight After Surgery

Here is a calculator. But I honestly wouldn't go by it. With the effort that you put in to it, you will reach your goal.

I got mine done last Wednesday on the 5th. Nothing to be nervous about. [emoji4] message me if you have any type of questions or concerns. I'm on day 8, it's been a cool ride thus far. Just follow your Dr's/hospitals orders and you'll be fabulous!
