What can You Expect?


If you are of the majority, you can expect to see excellent results with a Sleeve Gastrectomy. On average, patients lose about 50% of their excess body weight in the first year! Compare that figure to the 30-40% loss with the LAP-BAND® and 50-60% loss within two years of having a Gastric Bypass. Overall weight loss is about the same for all three procedures at five years.

The success of the Sleeve Gastrectomy is not just in the surgery itself, but is actually primarily due to the hormonal change that occurs with the hormone ghrelin, as previously mentioned.

More Questions

I contacted Dr. Wilkenfeld about the LapBand. I chose the LapBand because it is of low risk and short recovery time after the surgery. The two changed my life. After only 8 month I am off all diabetic medications, high blood pressure and the C-Pap Machine. I have dropped 6 pant sizes and 3 shirt sizes. I have more energy and can exercise more because of my weight loss. I feel great because I chose to have the lapBand procedure. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to change his or her life for the better.
