Weight loss at first postoperative visit predicts long-term outcome of RNY

[gr8ful1 122]

Fascinating study, the results of which should answer lots of "what did you lose at x months" questions. For me, this also provides some large-sample data for which I can set some achievable and realistic goals and expectations for my own progress. Comparison is the thief of joy, but I love looking at peer-reviewed studies.

No problem. Looks like I found this right in time for you to finalize your 3 and 6-month goals! Wishing you much success!

I’m trying to read this... does it really say that even the 95th %ile doesn’t lose 100% of excess weight?

I just checked my stats and I was pretty consistently at the 90th %ile but I lost greater than 100% if 100% puts you at a BMI of 25.

No, I don't think so. I see a slight upward slope for those in the 90th and 95th percentiles, meaning that the weight loss continues for these high achievers, albeit at a slower rate. You beat the odds. You're doing great! Now please share your success factors.
