Estimated Weight Loss with Lap Band Surgery: A Realistic Timeline

Question
if a guy about 6"2' weighs about 375..how long would it take him to loose 100 pounds? i know u cant tell me exactly..just an estimate would be wonderful!!

Answer
Hi Crystal:

Asssuming that he works with his surgeon to get an optimal fill level, I'd expect him to lose 100 pounds within a year.  Men seem to lose faster/more with Bands than women in my experience.  I think it's because they tend to be truly volume eaters... so the Band works great.

ObesityHelp has a nice weight loss calculator that you can use to project weight loss at http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/information/post+op+planner.php

If you assume a 60% excess weight loss, the calculator has him reaching this at 10 months.

Hope this helps!
