I know this is somnething many have asked.... but when I had my first consult the surgeon said I would loose about 73% of excess weight.....
The 2nd surgeon said he works on a formula which blows all the % out of the scale, as it takes everything into consideration, height, weight and BMI..... he is one of the leading surgeons inthe world on sleeves and is actively teaching/lecturing worldwide as well as operating.
He reckoned, after researching all his prior patients (including DS as well) that you take the pre op BMI divide by 3 and add 14. That would then give you your new BMI after weightloss.....
Sounds a bit weird I know, but with me that would make my BMI 25.7.
I wondered for those of you who are post op and maybe at goal..... how does this theory work for you?
