Hey everyone!

I'm 4 years post-op RNY but my amazing husband is about to under go VSG.  Since it's different than my RNY I wonder a few different things.............

He's 5'8 and roughly 245-250 and I wonder what he can expect to loose?

any other info would be great too!

Thanks!

Ash ;o)

If he follows the program, I would bet he will be at goal by the six month mark or so.  I lost 93 lbs. in 6.5 months and I am a tiny 5"1" woman.  As a man he has an advantage over me.  So tell him to get ready for an amazing ride.

Would his goal weight be 180-200? I bet he'll get to goal very quickly. The guys here post amazing numbers in short amounts of time. He can expect to completely change his relationship with food, but I bet he knows that since you've had WLS as well. Have him join OH and read the VSG forum - lots of info here!
