I was just wondering what is the shortest time it took someone to get to goal. I was told you loose the best in first year. But has anyone hit goal before 6 months and stopped loosing? Im three months out and wondering is this it? I'm not at my goal yet and 14 pounds from loosing what doctor goal says surgery had me loose 80% of excess weight.

Hey Soror!

I think everyone is different. I know my Dr initially thought I'd lose most of my weight by the 6 month mark...I've been stalled for 7 of my almost 10 weeks so I'm sure I won't make that.

I have seen where some of those with less to lose make it in 6 months or less.

Hey Soror. Thanks for the reply.

I'm 10 months out, im 5 pounds from MY goal and hit the docs goal at 7 1/2 months. However everyone is very diff so don't base yours and anyone else's, and remember you can lose whatever about you choose to, it's totally up to you. Good luck

I'm almost 11 months out and have lost 80 lbs and have 30 to go. They estimated a year and a half when I asked them before the surgery.

Right now my goal is doctors goal too because I not sure how much I want to weigh. I started at 246 on 5/22 and today I am 181 at almost 3 months post op. Docs goal is 160 so I am 21lbs away. He told me at my lat appointment I would hit goal by 6 months post op.

We are really close in our stats and surgery date. My doctor goal was to loose 65 pounds and I'm 14 pounds from having lost 65 pounds. So I know the plan works but I was curious. Thanks for the reply.

I'm almost 15 months out and have 35 left to goal. The looses have slowed down drastically the last few months

I'll be two years out this coming November, still haven't gotten to goal weight. Just 2 pounds away ......... must .......... get ............ to ........... goal ...........

Seriously, it's not all that terribly important to me since I've reached all of the other goals I wanted from the sleeve. But being this close......it still would be nice to get there. I want to get there, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

I reached goal (normal BMI) at 9 months. 110lbs down. Still want to lose more though.

I am 8 months out and about 12lbs from my goal. I have been stalled for 3 weeks now but I upped my calories so hopefully that works.

Everyone's different so you shouldn't compare yourself to others

I lost 100% Excess weight ( got to normal BMI) in 10 months, 1 week...HOWEVER that was not my goal, as I thought I still wanted to lose an additional 20 pounds....

I probably reached my surgeon's goal within 6 months - I met my personal goal in 10 months and I am still losing. I am now 115 lbs and I think I am done losing. I had surgery on 9/10/12.

My doctor said the process takes 1-2 years and won't give me a goal or benchmark. He said just keep doing what you are doing and don't obsess over a number. I am 3 weeks post op today and have lost 18 lbs. I did not have a pre op liquid diet.

My doctors goal was a normal BMI for me. I'm 6 month out and down 76 with 20 more to go. I'm hoping to get to goal by 1 year.

I'm 6 months out down 112 and 2 pounds away from goal but I decided to change it to 10 more pounds since I'm doing so well
