wjgo 272 Posted July 9, 2018 Are there any weight loss rates one should be hoping g to achieve? I would imagine that such a rate would be a function of excess weight for men and women.I am almost 4 calendar months post-op and I started at 164 lbs excess weight, and have been averaging 3.8 lbs /week last 6 weeks, pretty straight trendline. Is there a way I can know if I am exceeding typical goals, or faling short, and a way to see how those parameters change as I approach my goal weight?

Matt Z 4,139 Posted July 9, 2018 The sleeve has an up to 70% of the excess weight loss rate in the first year. Going off your call out. At 6 foot 1, 394.9, your projected losses are: 61 lbs by 3 months post op 103 lbs by 6 months post op 144 lbs by 12 months post op. Calculations drop to 60% of the excess for the next 2 years or so, and then 55% for the next 3 years. https://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/gastric-sleeve-success-rate.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wjgo 272 Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks for link. My surgery was actually 353.1. so it appears that I am ahead of that chart projection, but only by 5.6 lbs or 10% of the projection.Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wjgo 272 Posted July 10, 2018 I am trying to find info from people that reached their ideal weight and what their loss profile was like. I am not settling for 70% excess weight loss.Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BostonWLKC 807 Posted July 10, 2018 Look at peoples tickers or info on the side - that should give you some ideas I lost all of the excess weight in about 6 months. On the last 15 lbs to goal 2 wjgo and LaLaDee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
