Enter the number of months (1-24)

  The model is only designed for the first 24 months.

after the Mini-Gastric Bypass: 

    Months

Your Estimated Weight Loss is: 

Average:  lbs.

68% Confidence Intervals
Range:  

Low:  lbs. to High:
Inadequate Weight Loss: WARNING: Remember that some patients may not lose weight after the operation. *There are patients that fail after any type of surgery. Inadequate weight loss is a risk of all types of weight loss surgery and indeed of all types of weight loss treatment. Patients must recognize that the Mini-Gastric Bypass is not by any means a perfect treatment and that one of the risks is the real possibility of inadequate weight loss following my Mini-Gastric Bypass surgery.
Excessive Weight Loss: Some patients sustain excessive weight loss after operation and may require revision or reversal of the bypass to prevent severe malnutrition, nausea or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, other complications or death.
