Gastric sleeve surgery is the most common bariatric surgery performed today. It removes most of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach, so you feel full sooner and eat less. Many patients notice their hunger drops too.
Renew Bariatrics is a leading bariatric center in Mexico, and the gastric sleeve is our most popular procedure. Our before and afters can be great inspiration for your own gastric sleeve journey.
Gastric sleeve weight loss timeline
Weight comes off fastest. Many of the photos on this page were taken about 1 year after surgery.
Weight keeps coming off steadily as you settle into your new eating habits.
You should keep losing weight for up to 2 to 3 years after a sleeve (MedlinePlus).
If you have a BMI of 30 or over, gastric sleeve may be a good option, especially if you have health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. Enter your height and weight to estimate how much you could lose.
