Re-gain

Hey All! I getting sleeved on march 12 and I am terrified. Was wondering if anyone has gained any weight back after the procedure. I've been a yo yo all my life so I'm worried.

Yes, about half of people regain some of their weight two years after surgery.

The good news, is that you typically don't gain that much back.

People typically lose about 60-70% of their excess weigth, and gain back about 8% of their excess weight.

Say you have 100 pounds to lose...

The average person facing this challenge will lose 60-70 pounds by 18 months post surgery....and will typically regain about 8 pounds in year two.

You'd still have a permanent loss of over 50 pounds.

Some people, however....can gain even more back. Typically, these folks would benefit from some therapy to help with addictive and self sabotaging behaviors.

And some people....hit their goal and stay there:)

You get out of it what you put into it.
