Not sure what I will be able to get to number wise. Any thoughts?

My physician and most bariatric web sites say 60% for the AVERAGE, this is the chart below:

1. What is your ideal weight?

There are a few common ways to calculate ideal weight. This calculator shows your ideal weight for all of the different methods to determine this number. I typically use the largest number, which is usually the high body mass index number.

2. How much excess weight do you have to lose?

Current Weight – Ideal Weight = Excess Weight

3. How to calculate your expected weight loss:

Excess Weight x .60 = Expected Weight Loss

4. How to calculate your new weight:

Current Weight – Expected Weight Loss = New Weight After Surgery

Im not as ure I like this. Not enough weight loss





Have to use the tool. I believe u can achieve your goals as long as u stick to the plan and exercise

Hello everyone! I'm getting RNY on the 21st. I'm very excited for you all! I hope we can keep in touch and share our struggles, triumphs and show our support!

Have them change your date pls. The 21st just isnt as good as the 20th. Just tell your doctors I said its ok.

I got mine done last Wednesday on the 5th. Nothing to be nervous about. [emoji4] message me if you have any type of questions or concerns. I'm on day 8, it's been a cool ride thus far. Just follow your Dr's/hospitals orders and you'll be fabulous!
