HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I LOSE WITH BARIATRIC SURGERY?

Recent studies show that the amount of weight a person can lose after bariatric surgery varies based on the type of procedure and individual factors such as adherence to lifestyle changes and overall health. Here’s a general breakdown on average weight loss with various bariatric surgeries:

  1. Gastric Bypass RNY
    • Patients typically lose 60-80% of their excess body weight within the first 12-18 months after surgery.
    • Long-term studies indicate that most patients maintain about 50-70% of their excess weight loss after 10 years. *
  2. Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
    • Patients generally lose 50-70% of their excess body weight within the first 12-18 months.
    • After 5 years, patients usually maintain around 50-60% of their initial excess weight loss. 

3. Mini Gastric Bypass (One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass)

  • This procedure can lead to weight loss similar to traditional gastric bypass, with patients typically losing 60-80% of their excess body weight in the first year.

4. SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch)

  • This surgery can result in 70-85% excess weight loss, but more long-term studies are needed to confirm sustained results.

5. Adjustable Gastric Band

  • Weight loss is generally slower and less dramatic, with patients losing about 40-50% of their excess weight over 2-3 years. However, gastric band is less commonly performed due to comparatively high complication and revision rates. Weight Loss Latvia does not offer gastric band surgery due to mentioned above reasons. 

Key Factors Influencing Weight Loss Post Bariatric Surgery

  • Adherence to post-surgery dietary and lifestyle guidelines.
  • Regular follow-up care and nutritional support.
  • Commitment to physical activity and healthy eating habits life long.

It’s important to consult with a bariatric specialist to get personalized estimates based on your specific health profile and weight loss goals.
