Hi I am very curious to know different ppl's losses over a 6 month period! My dr believes i will lose 6-8 stone (84-100lbs) in 6 months has anyone had that sort of success???

I'm at 3 months out, and am down 49lbs (includes pre-op loss), and according to the dietician, am right on track. The sleeve is supposed to help people lose about 65 percent of their excess body fat, if that helps. And that would be in the first year. After that, I understand it is up to us. Good luck to you!

Hard to say. There are so many variables on how any individual's weight loss goes..age, starting weight, gender etc...there are quite a few on this site who have lost that amount in 6 months for sure! I am almost 7 months post op and have lost almost 60. But I'm a little older and my BMI was just under 40 when I had surgery, so I think those factor in a little.

I was very surprised when he said that much! I have starting bmi of 59 it's now down to 54 and I am 5 days post op lost 32lb since pre op started on 27th feb

Awesome! Good for you! You sound like you are on the right track for success! Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks will do

I'm not at 6 months yet 5 1/2 but I've lost 65 lbs.

Wow that's brilliant congrats

Hello, i am just a little over 5 months out since surgery, i have lost just over 100 lbs, BUT, i also have an enormous amount of weight to lose! Starting weight 383 lbs and as of today i am 275 lbs and still losing.

I'm 4 months post -op and I'm down 54lbs but that includes my pre-op diet of 15lbs

I am 4 months post op and down 48 pounds and my bariatric team said I am above average for % of excess weight lost at this point of recovery. I have lost 40% of my excess body weight.

Wow amazing losses, I have a large amount to lose also

I saw my surgeon today for our final visit and to send everything to the insurance.. This was one of my questions and he did tell me that you should lose 60% of your excess weight in the first 6 months.. His example was easy to understand.. If you are overweight (using BMI and height/weight chart) by 100 pounds and do EVERYTHING you are directed to, you should expect to lose 60 lbs in the first 6 months..

Naturally there are oodles of variations and circumstances that can make your loss more or less, but that's the gist.

Hi! I am just over 6 months out and I've lost 84 pounds in that time. Good Luck!

I am 5 months out and have lost 56lbs. I was 257 before pre op diet then 237 day of surgery and am now bouncing between 199 & 201

theres alot of factors that can influence numbers. but you can expect 50 to 80% ...I was down 80 some by the 6 month mark. I am 8 months an over 100 now. I used to obsess on the numbers on the scale I had to stop! I watch it but not as bad as I was! I just follow my plan and it works! May will be my 10 month and I go to chk in...
