[Mom_of_Chaos 545]

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

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
