    Yeah, I've read other places the 60% stat and they're absolutely right that it depends on the changes the patient makes. I find that making poor food choices and not exercising results in me maintaining my weight (a totally novel experience) and that when I return to good choices and exercise the weight drops again. And, I know that at only 5 months out I've lost 64% of my excess weight. While who knows if I'll make it to goal, I know I'm not stopping here!


    Starting weight for lap-band = 252
    miserable 5 years later
    Starting weight for VSG = 229
    Pre-op weight = 219

    Nice article. It would be nice if all sleevers would read this, especially newbies. I think it would help people have more realistic expectations, Of course we all want to be the ones who loose more than average!!!
