I hit 100 lbs lost at just about 5 months. My starting weight was 400 so the weight loss would have been faster initially than someone who started at a lower weight.

I haven't lost that much yet. But I have lost 20 pounds in just 2 weeks, if that helps any. :)

6 months for me. Starting weight was 330.

The higher the BMI, the quicker the loss. I've seen people lose 100 pounds in 6 months, and I've seen them lose it in a year or more. I never quite got to 100, but it took me about 15 months to lose 93. I was a slow poke.

It really depends on the person, I think. My friend didn't have this surgery but she lost 100 lbs in 1 year, which is fast considering she dieted without having this procedure done. Most people I see here lose 100 pounds within at least 7 months. It really just depends. :)

I had a high BMI (50) and started at 333. It took me just under 4 months.

6 weeks of this was pre-op diet. I lost 46 lbs on the pre-op diet, the remainder post op.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
