The ticker below says it all.

63 lbs and still going strong at 6 months out--75% of my excess weight. Don't go by pounds, heavier people will lose more than lighter people, but the percentage of weight lost will be equivalent between light and heavy. For example, if someone has 100 pounds to lose and loses 25, they have lost 25% of their excess weight, but if someone has 200 pounds to lose, 25% of their excess weight would be 50 lbs.

I had my surgery on May 15th of this year.. I am now 2.5 months out and I have lost 42 lbs. Still have 70 lbs to go. So I guess I have lost what 40% of my weight.. I think.. not so good with the math.. Good Luck.. and dont worry it will come off.. And each person is different so you will loose a different amount than anyone else.

My surgery was on May 3rd and so far with pre-op and post I have lost 31% of my excess weight. My total is 80 lbs so far.

Goal in less than 5 months. I love my sleeve. Follow your surgeons diet plan, excercise and stay hydrated and you will be at a place you never dreamed possible. The other day Sleeve4me and I were laughing over her buying a size 4. Giggling really. But the crazy part was a year ago we both would have been estatic with a size 14. Now we are both wearing size 4. NEVER did I dream this big or "small"

No regrets. I love my sleeve.

I've lost 51.2% of my excess weight over the past two months. That includes the 13lbs that I lost on my 2 week pre-op diet.

I had my surgery on February 11, 2011, and I've lost 85 pounds so far - not even six months out. Over 50% of my body weight!

I had my surgery on February 11, 2011, and I've lost 85 pounds so far - not even six months out. Over 50% of my body weight! I only have 17 more pounds until I reach my final goal!

I have lost 45 pounds in 90 days. I am 57 y.o. and I was told by many forum folks that i should expect less of myself since I am over 50. Well--I feel really good that I followed my surgeon's post - op protocol, set goals, and have not been a mindless whiner like some people on the forum. This is a journey of Self-determination. Your surgeon is giving you a 50% leg up over all other Americans--the other 50% is YOUR responsibility to create and follow a program that works for you. Read my other posts for details on how I did this weight loss so quickly and so consistently.

Here are my Before - After pictures [so far] on YouTubes

I have a video journal on YouTubes, plus lots of food ideas--please subscribe to my channel so I can help you along the way. Don't be a whiner--be a winner in this journey.

CONGRADS EVERYONE!!!! Your stories has definetly motivated me to control my anxiety and continue with this journey! I love this website :)

I had my surgery 5/9/11 and have lost 40lbs since then. I lost 55lbs pre-op making my total 95lbs lost!

I have lost 83% of my excess weight and have gone from a size 22 to a loose 12.

Don't base yourself on what other's do. You will do fine if you follow your dr.'s guidelines and exercise.

Kelly ;)

I'm down 45 in 6 weeks including 10 pounds on the 2 week pre-op diet. Feel great!
