After the laparoscopic surgery the average excess loss of weight is around 70%, for example the person weighing 100 pounds who is overweight can lose almost 70 pounds. And some have also observed the loss of around 80% which is quite appreciable.

Some patients prefer keeping 50% of the total weight after the surgery after 10years.
Unfortunately there are chances if once your weight reaches the lowest point i.e. your nadir, than you may start heading in opposite direction or your weight may start increasing.
After reaching to nadir around 80% of the patients have gained their weight eventually. Moreover it is observed that person who undergoes surgery more number of times is more likely prone to gain back their weight again.

On a standard people who seem to gain their weight back again 8% of their old weight as in return in the 5 years of the surgery. For example patient who lost 70 pounds from the overweight 100 pounds and who were among the 80% of the population who gained back the weight after the laparoscopic surgery is tend to gain 8% of the weight from the total weight, i.e. the patient may gain 8 pounds of the total weight after the laparoscopic surgery.
Patients keep around at least 50% of their excess weight later 10 years i.e. morbidly obese around 80% and super obese around 65%
