🩸Up to 65% of excess weight is lost in the first year.
Three months after gastric bypass, you can expect to be down about one third of your excess weight. At the six month mark, your excess weight will be cut in half. Two years after surgery, you should have been able to keep off about 65% of your excess weight.
For example, if you have 150 pounds to lose, you can expect to lose 97.5 pounds after 2 years. If you follow the right diet and exercise plan, you will lose even more weight.
Some patients regain weight after surgery. Those who regain weight often fail to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. This is avoidable by following postoperative diet and lifestyle recommendations.
