We frequently receive questions such as how much weight can be lost with obesity surgery or how long does it take to cure diabetes or hypertension with obesity surgery? So, how much weight can you really lose with obesity surgery?
Of the obesity surgery options, sleeve gastrectomy is currently the most frequently performed surgical method in Turkey. With this surgery, food intake is restricted after surgery. For this reason, patients who have just been discharged from the hospital lose up to 5-6 kilos of weight, especially with the effect of the liquid diet applied before surgery.
Essentially, the expected weight loss in the first month after sleeve gastrectomy is about ten percent (10%). In other words, a patient weighing 100 kilos loses around 9-11 kilos. This rate is higher in very overweight people. For example, a patient weighing 180 kilos can lose up to twenty-five kilograms of weight. The expected weight loss in the following months is around seven percent (7%). Weight loss will last for about two years and will stop on its own when the ideal weight is reached.
The important thing here is to achieve weight loss in a healthy way. Patients whose stomach capacity is severely restricted during surgery will vomit for months. Such a patient will lose weight much faster but will be unhealthy. Losing weight in a healthy way is much more valuable.
After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, weight loss may slow down or even stop from time to time. This situation is completely normal. This situation, which occurs especially during the rapid weight loss period in the first months, should not cause concern.
Obesity surgery cures type 2 diabetes by up to ninety percent. Especially in patients who have had diabetes for less than ten years, blood sugar can return to normal immediately after hospital discharge. Many patients stop using insulin or oral diabetic medication.
