Why Did It Take me Forever to Find This?

I mean – seriously.  Like most people contemplating WLS, I think I researched every website out there.  But the one thing that I was looking for – was the one thing that I didn’t find on my own.  Someone was kind enough to paste this link on an FB forum – and it was exactly what I was looking for!



Are you curious about how much you should expect to weigh after surgery?  This calculator will tell you how much you should expect to weigh 2 years after gastric bypass or the gastric sleeve.  I like that it compares weight loss from the 2 separate procedures.  I was also surprised to find that (in my case at least) by choosing the less-invasive sleeve, I should weigh 188 in 2 years.  Had I chosen the more-invasive bypass, I should expect to weight 172 in 2 years.  Not that big of a difference.  I would rather work my tail off to lose that last 15 lbs than have my insides rerouted – again, just my personal opinion.  No judgement here if anyone chooses otherwise.
