My husband and I are having VSG on Tuesday. Before I ask this question I just want to say that we are aware every person and situation is different anyway, we were talking about a few other couples we know who’ve done this and how exciting it was watching them lose and picturing ourselves in their shoes soon. I’m just curious on you guys journeys how much had you lost at your milestone appts? Post-Op Apt, 1mo, 4mo, 6 mo, 1 yr etc.

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. It will be interesting to hear about someone doing it with their significant other - at the same time!

For me:

pre-op - 12.6

1 mo. post op - 30.6 total

4 mo. post op - 68.6 total

6 mo. post op - 83.4 total

1 yr. post op - 120.0 total

1 yr. + 1 week post op - hit goal 150#, total loss of 122.6

My weight loss was fast. It was not the norm with the sleeve. High weight 254 - Day of surgery weight 234

EDIT -lol

• two months weight 195
• six month. (hit goal 140 pounds)
• first year (lowest weight 125)
• Five years out – i maintain in the 130s.

I am not post-op yet but thank you so much for this great ideal!!!!

Since everyone is different, I'll post my % EWL (taken from my date of surgery weight). I'm 8 months out and have lost appx 81% of my excess weight. My weight loss REALLY slowed in month 6. And I lost really well in months 3-5 because of some complications that made it VERY hard to eat (harder than even weeks after surgery).

Post-Op Appt: no idea

1 mo: 15%

4 mo: 48.57%

6 mo: 68.65

Thank you everyone for the replies. It will definitely be interesting you see how it goes for us.

Ive lost 40 pounds in 8 weeks. First few weeks it was flying off and now has slowed.

1 month was 18 pounds down.

Pre-op I lost 20 pounds

One month post-op I had lost 39 pounds

6 months post op I had lost 83 pounds

I won't be a year out until December, but I'll let you know how it goes.
