BARIATRIC WEIGHT LOSS TIMELINE
How much weight does a Barix Clinics patient lose?
How much weight you lose as a Barix Clinics patient depends on a variety of factors - your pre-surgery weight, your commitment and ability to follow the post-surgery nutritional program, your activity level, and so on. Medical literature reports that average weight loss after bariatric surgery is 40 to 75 percent of excess body weight. But not everyone fits the average or the timeline. Some lose less, some lose far more. Some lose it slower, some lose it more quickly.
