As a bariatric surgeon, my primary concern is to help my patients lead long, healthy, happy lives. However, I understand that for many of my patients, the first question is how much weight they can expect to lose through gastric sleeve. Looking better and feeling better usually go hand in hand, and the good news is both are attainable with gastric sleeve.
Having performed over ๐ฎ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐, I have seen many patients join the โCentury Clubโ (lose more than 100 pounds). Here is what you should keep in mind about weight loss from gastric sleeve:

Your starting weight is more indicative of how many pounds you can take off over time.
๐ง๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐น๐๐ With all of this in mind, what I can do is describe to you some of the average weight loss figures I see with my patients after they undergo gastric sleeve surgery. Most patients will lose an average of two to four pounds per week for the first six months to a year. You can expect the biggest weight loss to come in the first month due to the sternest dietary restrictions.
For additional context, the average patient loses 60 to 70 percent of his or her excess weight (the weight above their goal weight) by the end of the first year.

While the weight will come off more easily at first, it is usually the patients who stick to a healthy, calorie-conscious diet a year (and more) later that will continue to see the pounds disappear. Exercising will also help to enhance your weight loss, although I recommend waiting about two months after receiving gastric sleeve before doing anything strenuous.
