How much weight will I loose?

The amount of weight patients loose after gastric bypass surgery depends on how much excess weight the patient had before. 

Weight loss is a gradual process after gastric bypass surgery. Most patients continue to loose weight for up to 18 months after gastric bypass surgery. Patients can expect to loose 65-80% of their excess body weight and are able to maintain the weight loss with a healthy diet and exercise.
