I am 6 months post op, I have lost 70 lbs thus far. My question is how long will the weight keep coming off? I know there is a point where the malabsorption isnt as effective. I only want to lose about 15 more pounds.

I have heard up to 18 months but not sure... everyone is different and it will certainly slow down once you get close to your goal weight

Really 18 months? I have 14 more pounds to goal.

Just be patient, you will lose the weight. You just had surgery and your body is still swollen and full of alot of Fluid and air. It really is amazing how quickly the weight comes off!

It can take up to week to 10 days to really start feeling the effects. You are still full of all the fluids they pumped you up with in the hospital. I promise give it another week and you will be in aw. Best wishes to you in this journey:-)
