Hi Magicbeans
This is an impossible question to gage accurate answers from, as everyone is unique and their weight loss journey is too.
A gastric band will give you 50-60 percent of your EXCESS weight as a loss on average.
So if you at 60lbs over weight, the realistic target is 30lbs in the first year.
But there are some that get to goal weights much quicker or lost more than the stated averages, and that can be for many reasons but however you get there, it takes a lot of determination and hard work. Will power still has to be exercised completely.
My journey has been very slow, due to the NHS being pants for the past year.
All WLS carries the possibility of regaining weight, its not the surgery that keeps the weight off, its you. The WLS gives you a window of opportunity to change your eating habits and learn to make better choices.
Some people who have a bypass can swing the other way, where they have to maintain with a high fat diet as they suffer with chronic malabsoprtion.
There are no definite answers, in a way its a gamble.

it took me 18 months to lose 7st7llbs with my 1st band, i must state everyones different and it depends on the level of commitment given to a band, as band is easily cheated and lots do so, also i want to say about time scales, one of the most common questions asked is "how quick was the weight loss ?"
WLS is NOT a race and losing it too quickly isnt any good for anyone, losing weight with a band is not a easy option and requires alot of will power or the results are usually poor. I hope my comments have helped im just being honest from my own 2 bands experience and knowing alot of banders too x
