How much weight will I lose with a gastric sleeve?
“Most patients lose around 60–70% of their excess weight over 12–18 months — but that figure is an average, not a promise, and it depends heavily on following the diet and follow-up plan. The sleeve makes the change possible; your habits afterwards decide how much of it lasts.”
View in the company profileIs the gastric sleeve reversible?
“No. Because roughly 80% of the stomach is permanently removed, the sleeve cannot be reversed — unlike the gastric bypass, which re-routes rather than removes and is technically reversible.”
View in the company profileDoes the gastric sleeve cause acid reflux?
“It can. The sleeve can cause or worsen acid reflux (GERD) in some patients, which is why the assessment asks carefully about existing reflux.”
