Your Weight The most you can lose is your total weight, but you would be dead by that point. The most you should lose is whatever it takes to get you down to a healthy weight. Dieting methods do not have a maximum amount of weight that they can remove.It is very simple, if you don't eat, you lose weight.

If you lose too much weight, you die.

Most people are able to lose 6 to 10 pounds per month... ...and most lose half of their excess weight within the first year following surgery. I have a friend who has lost 279 pounds after his surgery, which was 3 years ago. I can barely recognize him now.

The greatest weight loss following such surgery was a guy who weighed 630 pounds in 2003 and now weighs 220 pounds, for a total loss of 410 pounds. ------------------------------------------------How overweight do I need to be to consider the LAP-BAND®? You should be at least 60-100 pounds overweight to consider the LAP-BAND® System.

A better measure for determining your eligibility, however, is your BMI (Body Mass Index), a calculation based on your height and weight (Click here to calculate your BMI) The LAP-BAND® is generally recommended for patients with a BMI of 30-60. What is the average excess weight loss and improvement of related health conditions for patients? On average, LAP-BAND® patients have lost about 50% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery.

Most of patients' associated medical problems, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, arthropathy, or high blood pressure, have improved or disappeared completely after their LAP-BAND® procedure. Potential results and weight loss expectations can be discussed in further detail with you during your initial consultation. How much weight should I expect to lose and how fast?

The amount of weight you lose and the rate at which you lose it is dependent on a number of factors in addition to the LAP-BAND® itself such as: your starting weight, your post-operative diet, the amount of exercise you do, etc. On average, however, patients have lost about 50% of their excess weight within the first year of surgery. Most patients find they are losing between 5-10 pounds a month, depending on their individual diet and exercise regimens.In general, it is not safe to lose weight too quickly; a weight loss of 2 to 3 pounds a week in the first year after the operation is possible, but 1½ pounds a week is more likely. Remember that your primary goal is to have a weight loss that prevents, improves, and/or resolves health problems associated with severe obesity.
