Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if bariatric surgery is right for me?

We help you make that determination during your consultation. Generally, surgery is considered for those with significant weight to lose who haven't succeeded with medical approaches. We thoroughly discuss pros, cons, and requirements.

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

Gastric sleeve reduces stomach size but doesn't bypass digestion. Gastric bypass additionally bypasses part of the intestine, reducing calorie absorption. Both work, but differ in mechanism, risks, and nutritional needs.

How much weight will I lose after bariatric surgery?

Typical weight loss ranges from 50-70% of excess weight over 1-2 years. Results depend on the procedure, your dedication to diet and exercise, and individual factors.

What happens after bariatric surgery?

You'll eat much smaller portions and must follow dietary guidelines. You'll need vitamin supplements for life. Regular follow-up appointments monitor your progress and any issues. Most patients adapt well to these requirements.

Will I need surgery if medical weight loss isn't working?

Not necessarily. We explore many options before recommending surgery. Sometimes adjusting medications, nutrition approaches, or addressing behavioral factors helps. Surgery is truly a last resort, not a first step.

How is gastric sleeve performed?

It's typically done laparoscopically (minimally invasive) with small incisions. Part of the stomach is removed, leaving a small sleeve-shaped pouch. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours.

What are the risks of bariatric surgery?

All surgery carries some risk. Common concerns include nutritional deficiencies, loose skin, and rarely, surgical complications. We thoroughly screen to minimize risks and provide education on managing known issues.

Can I get pregnant after bariatric surgery?

Yes. Many women successfully conceive after weight loss surgery. However, pregnancy planning is important, as nutritional needs change. Discuss family planning with our team.
