Pre- and postoperative weight loss metrics of 34 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Metric	Mean (SD) [range]
	Preoperative	Postoperative	Overall loss	Monthly loss
Body mass, kg	134.2 (21.9) [92.3–201.8]	106.7 (20.4) [70.0–168.2]	27.4 (9.0) [5.0–47.3]	3.3 (1.8) [0.3–8.6]
BMI, kg/m2	50.3 (7.7) [33.0–68.0]	39.9 (6.7) [25.0–57.0]	10.4 (3.5) [2.0–17.0]	1.3 (0.7) [0.1–4.0]
%EWL	—	—	38.4 (13.8) [7.1–73.7]	4.5 (2.6) [0.6–12.8]
%EBL	—	—	43.4 (17.1) [8.7–100]	5.1 (3.1) [0.8–16.7]

BMI = body mass index; %EBL = percent excess body mass index loss; %EWL = percent excess weight loss; SD = standard deviation.
