Thread: How much weight will a 275lb woman lose if she has lapband surgery done?

Just an estimate from those of you who have had it or know of someone who had the procedure done. Please no rude comments.

ALOT

it depends everyone's body is different

Uhm Im not sure, but my mom's freind had it done and she was around 260 and 3 years later shes like 140. But initially she lost like 50pds. Consult your doctor or physician before anyone here.

it take time to adjust the band with what is know as "Fills" and often significant weight loss can be expected. This is no easy fix - as with gastric bypass, these are LIFE altering choices. The same amount of weight can be lost with diet and exercise and there are significant risks involved with the lap band, plus the expense and constant maintenance

considering you can "adjust " the band as needed I would predict that her and her doctor would decide on a weight. Probably within the lower part of the healthy BMI scale.

I'd say in a year she can lose up to 100lb
