Does anyone know what the mean excess weight loss percentage is for VSG as a primary procedure?

The ASMBS paper shows a 60% mean EWL, but from what I can tell, that's for the Magenstrasse and Mill procedure, which does not include the resection that removes the ghrelin-secreting fundus of the stomach.

So it's possible that the "real" mean EWL for lap sleeve is higher than 60%, but I can't find hard figures on it.

Anyone know?
