How does age affect success and weight loss rate

[Aggiemae 739]

According to my surgeon age is a factor. She calculated that I should expect to loose 40 pounds in the first year and 60-80 total by the end of the second year. I intend to prove her wronged.

I bet that you will! With 160 pounds to lose I am down 112 within the first year. At 65 I thrilled and haven't had any negatives. Well, loose skin, but that was inevitable.

I seem to be losing steadily. I know its only been 11 days and things can slow down. At the intro class they gave a basic formula and so I was expecting to loose 80 pounds in a year. Just about what a want and under 200 lbs. I watched lots of tubes and read lots of blogs (It seems that people who are eating grill cheese sandwiches a week after surgery like to make videos!) "Average" includes everyone....So was left with the impression that what I will get out of this is exactly what I put in.

@@Aggiemae - you are exactly right you will benefit from what you put into your surgery (tool).
