Weight Loss
Weight loss is significant and begins immediately following gastric sleeve surgery. The best results typically happen in patients who change their lifestyle habits through diet, exercise, and post-op diet. As long as you practice healthy eating habits, you are unlikely to stretch your stomach. Here is an average excess weight loss (EWL) for past patients at various stages of post-op sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
Percentage of Excess Weight Loss (%EWL)*:
- 3 months: 25-35%
- 6 months: 45-55%
- 1 year: 65-70%
- 18 months: 70-75%
- 3 years: 60-72%
- 10 years: 40-60%
Health and Quality of Life Benefits
- Expected weight loss of 65-70% within one year
- Improve, reduce, or cure health problems related to obesity
- Quality of life benefits
- Non-scale victories
- Boost in self-confidence and happiness
- Lifestyle changes
- Increase in sex drive and physical attraction
Your Skin After Rapid Weight Loss
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is performed using a minimally-invasive technique, known as laparoscopic surgery. Scarring tends to be minimal as the surgeon uses 3 to 5 tiny incisions across the abdomen – unless you choose single-incision instead. But being overweight or obese for a long period of time can create less-elastic skin around areas like arms, thighs, legs, and stomach.
Loose, Sagging, and Excess Skin
Sagging skin may appear due to the rapid weight loss after gastric sleeve. Depending on the skin’s elasticity, excess skin may need to be removed with cosmetic surgery procedures. Excess skin varies from patient to patient, usually being influenced by age, size, amount of weight loss, and period of time being overweight.
*Remember, individual results may vary and these results may not be typical.
