About 18 months post op.

It would be very unusual to stop losing at just seven months out but I guess it's possible. Have you lost all the weight you want to lose?

From what I've read here, consensus seems to be that there will be one or two plateaus over the course of the first year of weight loss but that at the end of that year, one's weight will have stabilized, mostly...from there it's maintenance with maybe a slight gain here and there.

I'm hoping that in early May I begin to see significant weight loss...we'll see, though...

I am more than two years post-op and not only am I still losing, I'm actually trying to maintain and not lose anymore. However, I've been very, very ill for several months now so I'm thinking that might have something to do with the continued weight loss.

Sorry to hear you've been ill. I hope you can get your weight up to where you are most healthy at.

You are probably not completely done. I had a nine week stall at about 9 months out. My weight loss dropped dramatically after that, and came to a crawl after 12 months, but I continued to lose very slowly until 20 months out.
