looking for a graph
VSG on 04/04/13
When I was in the doctors office they had a graph in my charts that showed how my weight loss compared to other bariatric patients. It highlighted the areas for slow loss, avg loss and extreme loss. Has anyone seen a graph like this? I am looking to download one to keep in my personal records. I tried the Google thing and looked in the OH search but did not see what I was looking for.

I'm not sure if this will help, but it is the stats from my surgeon put together by my NUT based on his own patients statistics. I'm in New Zealand, so it's in Kilograms not pounds so you will need to do the conversions (1 kilogram = 2.2lbs)
I found it useful to benchmark myself against (and felt very proud of being a major over-achiever!....lol)

Mine was pretty steep losses between 3 and 6 months. I lost 69kgs/152lbs in 7 months and only 7kgs/15lbs in the last two months. Not that I'm complaining, that's still good numbers for nearly 9 months out and a 27 BMI. I was a heavy weight to start with (40 kgs higher that his average RNY patient), so I was initially worried that RNY would have been better with so much to lose.
But 9 months later, I'm very happy with my less invasive choice and miles ahead on his VSG and RNY stats, so I'm a happy nearly skinny camper!...lol
