Your BMI and Goal Weight

Your weight is 295 pounds; your ideal weight is 134 pounds. Thus, your “excess” weight is about 161 pounds. Bariatric surgery might help you lose 80% of this excess weight, meaning you might lose 129 pounds.

If you lost 129 pounds, then you would end up weighing 166 pounds. 166 pounds would thus be your “goal weight” for bariatric surgery.

Typically bariatric surgery patients lose this amount over the course of 12 to 15 months, with slight fluctuations and possibly slight regain after that. Below is a graph of how your weight might change after surgery.

Your current BMI is 50.6. Click here to find out what that means.
