If everyone would update their statistics you would have lots of information. I'm not at 6 months yet but will be 5 months on the 9th. My info and my wt loss ticker are up to date. Are you still pre op?

Yes.. I've been set on RNY BYPASS but just heard about MGB so just seeing what I can find out

Here’s a useful tool to see how much you would lose for each procedure that would be specific to your actual height, weight and BMI

Although I didn’t see the MGB on there

The link won’t go straight to the tool. Scan down to section 2 and you’ll see a pink button to click on for the calculator

September 5 2018-surgery day- 319 pounds
March 3 2019- two days short- 242 pounds or so their scale says.

There is no guarantee what your weight loss outcome will be after surgery. We are all more than the statistics.

I started at 254 pre surgery - I got to goal 140 in six months with the sleeve. Almost 5 years out, I maintain in the 130's.

That's great very comforting! I have a total of 140 to lose and I hope to do so in 9-12 months

My highest ever weight was around 283 lbs. My "first appointment" weight was 276 lbs. I am almost 7 months out. Surgery day (8/16/18) I was 264 lbs. At my 6-month office visit, I was 190 lbs, so a loss of 74 lbs in 6 months. I had the sleeve surgery.
