Statistics On Gastric Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 12/12 and have lost 55 lbs as of today, 5/8! yea, me! but does anyone know where I can get statistics on this surgery in terms of effectiveness, weight loss, weight gained back, anything like that?

Your surgeon should be able to give you most of those numbers. Did you attend a seminar or webinar? Those numbers should have been made available then. The only statistic I know is that most VSG patients lose between 60-80% of their weight within the first year. I've already kicked that statistic to the curb because I'm at 58% at 8 months. :)

I agree - I am at 70% at 9 months. Here is some of the most up to date statistics I have come across:

I've been at 75% since around 10 months and I'm 15 pounds from goal and my surgeon told me that my sleeve did its job now it's gonna take hard work and determination to get the rest off. Boy is he right!!! But I can't complain my sleeve took off 102 pounds that I would have never been able to get off otherwise!!!

I have lost 82% at 7 months. 18 lbs. to go. Definitely coming off slower now. I agree with Kristy. Now it's our hard work and determination to get the rest off.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
