Gastric sleeve has been shown to provide significant weight loss for individuals suffering from obesity. Studies suggest that 50 to 65% of excess weight can be obtained in 1 year to 1.5 years.
Success for individuals will depend on many factors including, activity levels, surgery type, diet (especially the initial postoperative diet), supplementation, and more.
