Can anyone tell me how much they lost within the first six month, starting with day of surgery weight, as well as whether a virgin or revision surgery? Anyone know the percentages of expected weight loss within the first month? Thanks.

There's a good tool at https://www.realize.com/do-i-qualify/potential-results%C2'> where you can put in your information and it shows you the three surgeries (band, bypass, sleeve) and what the expected weight loss is at 6 months and a year and long-term success rates. Of course, everyone is different, but this does show averages... half the people are below and half the people are above.

Here's a link to the site referred to above:

Cool site! I'm going for the 80% club!!!

Great tool but does anyone know how accurate this is, I input my information and numbers did not seem very accurate to me. More weight loss with the sleeve than with the bypass?

Was accurate for what I lost 6 months post op. At the 50% range.

Too bad they don't include the Duodenal Switch in their numbers. I don't understand why they don't since the VSG is the first step of the DS and without the DS the VSG would not even be an option.

I love being able to eat everything I love to eat without worrying about actual calorie count. I only worry about Protein and Fat levels, and a stay aware of carbs but not really.

Thanks for the link. They don't have the DS however it is helpful.
