Bariatric surgery is a permanent change to the body and our Bariatric team must make sure patients are mentally and physically capable of tolerating the procedure. The professionals at the Weight Loss Center follow patients pre- and post-operatively. Prior to the operation, patients will have a tailored pre-op clearance plan.
Patients should expect to lose 60 to 70 percent of their excess body weight after the sleeve gastrectomy procedure. How quickly the weight is lost varies for each patient. They may be able to stop taking medications and reverse conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
