Expect to reach your goals.
It’s important to understand that adjustable gastric band surgery is not a miracle cure for your weight problems. It is an important tool in helping you reach a healthy weight. It is one part of a lifestyle change that includes being active and eating healthy.
Losing 2 to 3 pounds a week is desirable. Most people won’t lose all their excess body weight. The average is about 70%, but it stays off with appropriate follow-up and support.
Like any personal goal, losing weight requires discipline, hard work and commitment. Your adjustable gastric band won’t reach your goals for you, but it will help you reach them.
