How much weight can I expect to lose after surgery and how long does it take to achieve the desired weight loss?
On average, the heavier the patient, the more weight they are likely to lose. Most patients can expect to lose two-thirds of their excess weight. Most of that weight loss will occur within the first 18 months. That weight loss is almost always followed by slight weight gain, as your body tries to stabilize itself and is followed by another period of weight loss.
