I am not at goal weight yet, I've lost 60 pounds since Sept 2013. I think most people takes about a year (maybe less).

Im wondering how long it has taken most to reach their goal weights?? I'm aiming to lose 50kg (110lbs)

I don't know if asking in raw numbers how much a person lost and how long it took them is a fair comparison. I, myself, have lost a total of 112 pounds since I had the surgery on 4/24/13. However, I started at over 350 pounds. A person that starts at 250 pounds could not really expect to lose that much that quick, and person that starts at 600 might be disappointed with my current weight loss. So, where are you starting from?

So, I guess I answered your question with a question.......Don't you hate that?

Seriously, I took about 11 months to get this far, but from what I have been told, I am unusal in my loss. Some take longer, some take less time. Tt all depends on who you talk to.

I was just curious to get a variety of answers. Not really looking to compare.

My band was fitted 14 /feb /14. I was 129kg that morning. I'm down a little over 6kg since then. My surgeon said that was a little too fast and he would prefer a max of 1kg per week.

So I was curious to see how fast others had lost.

My surgeon adheres to the two year rule.... You should lose 50-60% of your goal in year one and the rest by end of year two. Of course some lose faster and some lose slower. I won't reach 50% by wed for my one year bandiversary. But I plan to get as close as I can to goal n year 2. It took 9 months to get my restriction to where I was losing. Good luck.
