People are always excited to know how quickly they will lose weight. It's will be unknown until you are working your program. I agree with @Babbs. Its not how fast you lose weight, it's the fact that you are losing weight.

I was sleeved June 2014. I had a required insurance weight loss before surgery. It put me in the lower BMI category. 5'5" and 234 the day of surgery. I am in the 130's. I lost my weight in 6 months. Yes, I had stalls, But he weight loss was quick now that I look back at it.

Myself and other sleevers have lost weight differently than what @@James Marusek described in the above post. Results of surgery will be different for each of us. All I can say is concentrate on your own journey to get what you want out of it.

SIDE NOTE:

Slower weight loss will not guarantee the outcome of lose skin.. People are going to talk negative and positive about your weight loss if it's slow or fast.

I am interested in this post as i have a BMI of 35 and am having my sleeve on 20th Jan. When i do my LRD my BMI will fall below 35 hopefully but as my initial consultation my BMI was 35 I assume this is ok. I am paying for my sugery privately.
