I've seen reports that those with the lapband lose 1-2 pounds per week for the first year.

tatistically speaking, on average, how much weight does an average patient lose with VSG per week in the first year?

I'm still scared but will go thru it anyways -- for my health. I'm trying to go thru the necessary appointments and not think about it too much - guess I'm scared of failing this. I've never been into exercise physically ( but in my head - I'm a runner LOL). I think I've just gotten used to being lazy and sedentary. Guess I'm not feeling too strong minded today.

If people weighed themselves monthly instead of daily, there wouldn't be any "stalls"

(I know, I know, docs say to weigh in, but what I am trying to say is that stalls aren't stalls when looked at in the bigger picture)

MissMeaow, that is what I did and I never saw a stall. The scale never got me down and I was inspired the whole time.

The scale is evil. It lies. It only measures weight, not fat, and I needed to lose fat.

That's so awesome! I was 254. - 4 days before surgery' date=' 250 day of. Today I am 158. I was sleeved May 15. 5 months almost- and 96 gone. I'm hoping to break 100 very soon, and definitely within the month.

Did you find many drawbacks to losing so much faster than normal? I mean besides lose skin... Did you have any issues? What was your starting weight?

Did your weight loss slow drastically right at the 6 month mark?
