frequently asked questions

How will my body know when to stop losing weight?

If you follow Dr. Thomas’s recommendations and there are no complications it is anticipated that you will achieve fairly rapid and consistent weight loss for the first 12-18 months after surgery. After this period you should have successfully lost the majority of excess weight. Several factors will be operating together and your weight loss will slow down and eventually cease as your body stabilizes.
