Question:
I understand that weight loss stops at about 18 months ... can we still continue to

lose weight even after that? I'm 9 mos. post op and I'm afraid it will stop and that's scarey.    — Betty Todd (posted on October 6, 2001)

Your "easy weight loss" window is 12-18 months. After that period is over, you will have to work just as hard at losing weight as you did pre-WLS. You CAN, however, continue to lose weight. The reason most people stop losing weight after the 18 month window is simply because they can eat more.
