Is the sleeve effective for weight loss?

Patients typically lose 60-70% of excess weight within 12-18 months.  Weight loss often begins immediately after surgery and is steady until you've reached your goal.

It is important to understand that surgery is simply a tool to assist in your weight loss journey.  Patient commitment matters.  To reach and maintain your goal weight, you must follow a high-protein, low-sugar diet, stay hydrated, take recommended vitamins, attend follow-up visits and engage in regular physical activity.
