Ok I went to my 6 month post op visit yesterday. My dr was really impressed, he said I was way ahead of schedule, I am 6 months out started at 282, currently 193. for a loss of 89. He said normally the rule of thumb is half of your excess weight by 1 yr and at 6 months I have lost more than 2/3's. I have 2 more 3 month visits then it goes to 6 months. My dr figures 160-170. I have a personal goal of 150. The only problem I have had is chronic diarrhea and gas. My dr said it was 2 fold because I had my gallbladder out the year before my bypass so he put me on some medicine and it helped immediately it is called Cholestyramine.
