Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Maharashtra

How much weight will I lose after gastric sleeve surgery?

Most patients lose 60-70% of their excess weight within the first one to two years, with results depending on adherence to the recommended diet and activity changes afterward.

Is gastric sleeve surgery reversible?

No, because a significant portion of the stomach is permanently removed, gastric sleeve surgery cannot be reversed, so it's important to fully understand this permanence before proceeding.

Will I need supplements after gastric sleeve surgery?

Yes, vitamin and mineral supplementation is typically recommended long-term since the smaller stomach affects how much food and nutrients you can consume, and your surgeon or dietitian will guide the specific regimen.

What's the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?

Gastric sleeve only reduces stomach size without rerouting the intestines, while gastric bypass does both, meaning bypass generally causes more malabsorption-related nutrient issues but sometimes greater initial weight loss; a bariatric surgeon can help decide which suits your health profile better.

How long is recovery after gastric sleeve surgery?

Hospital stay is typically two to three days, with most patients returning to normal light activities within three to five weeks.
