Question:
How much weight/inches could you lose in the first 2 months of having a ds?

I am going to a wedding 2 months after my surgery and was wondering about dress down sizing.    — Joy B. (posted on March 29, 2002)

Hi, I'm preop and Lee Anne is right, everyone is different. I am on a newsgroup with a lot of other patients having the DS by my same surgeon, and for one in particular who was about my same height/starting weight (a little over 100 pounds overweight, 5'5"), amd he lost about 43 pounds in the first 2 months. I'm just trying to give you an idea, so I hope it helps. Perphaps if you are more overweight, then you will loose less. Have fun at the wedding! I just missed a good friends wedding because I couldn't find anything nice to fit me :( Looking forward to being able to attend one! :)
