Thank you both for posting these. I think this provides a more realistic picture of how the weight comes off. Also, it's great how it shows the difference between the rate of loss of those in higher and lower weight ranges. I think some patients in the lower 200 range find themselves disappointed or discouraged when they're are not losing at the same rate as another in the 400lb range. However, losing at that same rate is not the norm and in general, the body adjusts to the loss better when it isn't too rapid (especially those who are a little older with less elastic skin). Patience is rewarded.

This photo has helped me to not be discouraged but look forward to weeks

I always asked if I was on track at my follow up appointments. My surgeon's office never gave weight loss averages to patients because we all lose at different rates.

After looking at this I realize my weight loss was crazy fast.. Starting weight 254. I lost 115 in six months.

Thank you for posting this! Im in the category with less weight to lose. Started at 198 day of surgery. I’m less than 3 months out and I’ve lost 24lbs so far but the weight is coming off slow, especially since right before Christmas. It seems like each week it’s harder and harder to lose even 1lb and it’s driving me nuts! I still have 39lbs to goal! I see all these incredible 6 month transformations on Instagram and it’s getting to me. This reassures me that I’m on track at least.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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