Surgical Outcome Claims

Cited from the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) is a Federation composed of national associations of bariatric surgeons and Integrated Health professionals. Here is an extract from the IFSO website - www.ifso.com/sleeve-gastrectomy:

Like the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, most of the weight loss is achieved in the first 2 years (>70% excess weight loss for BMI less than 50).  Weight regain and gastric pouch dilatation can be seen thereafter.  At 5 years, there is a sustained weight loss in the range of 50-60%  of excess weight.
