Amount of Weight Lost in 3 months post-op



Recommended Posts

How much weight did you lose in the first 3 months post-surgery?

I had the sleeve in December and have lost 41 lbs since surgery (60 total). My doctor thinks I should have lost more than that in 3 months. Just curious to see how others did.

I’ve lost 43 lbs. Saw my surgeon yesterday. She was very pleased. You’re doing great. In another 3 months at the same rate, you’ll be 82 pounds less! Sounds like your surgeon is not being realistic. We all don’t drop 12 - 20 pounds/month. Your rate of loss is safe and consistent. Keep up the great work! [emoji259]

I feel a huge difference. More energy and ability to do so much more that I couldn’t before and able to keep up with my 3.5 yr old.

Oh my gosh, that's awesome!! Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!! LOL I hope I lose at least 40 lbs by the 3 month mark. I'm afraid it might be less. (I've lost 17 lbs in this first month.) But progress is progress! :D

HW - 228

SW - 202

3 months - 170

so I am 32 at 3 months and 58 overall. I have struggled with getting my protien in and so I have had several stalls but I am ok with it because I am feeling 100% better than I have in years. Everyone is different and my doctor says as long as you are loosing something its better than nothing. Keep up the good work.

Around 60lb (90lb total). My doctor was very concerned that I was loosing too fast. She said this can cause excess muscle loss and issues with Vitamins. My muscle/fat loss ratio is still good buy I'm waiting on my blood test results for the Vitamin issue.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
