Pre & Post op weight spreadsheet

[Guest guest]

OK,

I put a spreadsheet together and If you want an operating copy please

send me a private e-mail. Here are the results so far:

Person Ht Wt Cur BMI Post BMI Post Wt

H 67.5 286 44.1 29.0 188

L J 65.5 254 41.6 28.2 172

Judie 64 245 42.1 28.4 165

This is based on 70% excess weight loss and are predictions. Your

milage may vary.

> Your pre-op BMI is 42 - not bad. You ideal BMI is about 22, so you

> are 20 BMI points over the ideal. If you loose 70% of your excess

> weight then you will loose 14 BMI points giving you a BMI of 28. So

> you will weigh 163 lbs. 70% is a fairly conservative estimate and

> you might do a bit better (say 80%) which would put you at a BMI of

> 26 or 151 lbs. I would consider anything below BMI=30 as a success,

> and that would be 175 lbs. So you should loose 70-94 lbs. If you

> excercise regularly you can loose more, if you drink a 6 pack of

coke

> every day you will loose less, but this gives you a rough idea what

> to expect.
