The amount of weight loss after gastric sleeve surgery can vary from person to person, but on average, people can expect to lose about 60% of their excess body weight within the first year after the surgery. This will depend on factors such as the individual’s starting weight, diet, and exercise habits.

After gastric sleeve surgery, it is important to make sure that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. Your surgeon or a registered dietitian may recommend that you take a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement, as well as other specific supplements, to ensure that you are getting enough of these essential nutrients.

After gastric sleeve surgery, you will need to follow a specific diet to ensure proper healing and maximize weight loss. This diet may start with a liquid phase and then progress to pureed and soft foods before transitioning to solid foods. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues to make sure you are getting enough to eat and meeting your nutritional needs.

During gastric sleeve surgery, the surgeon removes about 80% of the stomach to create a small, tube-shaped stomach that holds about one cup of food. This smaller stomach size limits the amount of food that can be eaten at one time, which can help people lose weight by reducing their appetite and calorie intake. The procedure can also affect the production of hunger-regulating hormones, which can further contribute to weight loss.
