Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for weight loss surgery?
Eligibility typically requires a BMI over 35 with obesity-related health conditions, or BMI over 40. A consultation with a specialist will determine your suitability.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Most patients lose 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year, depending on the procedure and their commitment to lifestyle changes.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery varies by procedure: 2-3 weeks for gastric band, 3-4 weeks for sleeve, and 4-6 weeks for bypass. Full recovery may take several months.
