Hello all

Hey all quick question!

I am strongly leaning twords RNY what can I expect to loose 12 mths post op?  BMI 61 weight right now 342.

Welcome, I am sure a RNY'er will be around to answer.

Everyone is different, but I started out at BMI of 60/388 pounds. I am down 138 pounds one year postop.

Some people have lost more, some have lost less.

Best of luck to you.

I think your doc is always one of the best ways to set clear expectations, but I know some don't want to discuss.  I am only 6.5 months out, so I can't say where I will be at 12, but I am 5'5" and started at 361#,BMI 60, today I am 256# and BMI of about 42.  Good luck with whatever decision you make!!!

Thanks all for your responses I am still waiting for my intial consultation from hospital.  I have been pre-approved by ins and submitted all of my docs to the clinic I am just going crazy waiting. 

I am a shorty so I guess I am hoping to loose 200lbs which would put me at about 25 BMI. 

Who knows I am just ready to get moving in the right direction---  This weeks challenge is giving up Diet Coke!  I LOVE Diet Coke I know I can get rid of the caffeine but it is going to be hard.
