Weight loss after a Sleeve


How much weight does one lose after a sleeve gastrectomy?

It really depends on many factors, but if you speak to a surgeon, they will always quote you very high numbers like 80-120 pounds. In reality, you may lose anywhere from 30-60 percent of the excess weight. If you exercise and eat less, you will a lot more- the hard part is preventing the weight gain as the surgery does not suppress your appetite center. Remember to sell this procedure, the surgeon will always quote high numbers-medicine after all is a business.
