Gastric sleeve surg: Gastric sleeve surgery is successful in helping patients loose weight. Depending on your diet, exercise regime, most patients lose about 60-70% of their excess weight. (Bariatric Surgery, A Systemic Review and Meta Analysis, 2004). What type of diet are you on currently? Let us know your risk factors to give you a more precise answer.

Varies: There is a basic principle that the amount of weight loss will be directly related to burning more calories than you take in. Gastric sleeve surgery has the goal of decreasing the amount of calories you can take in. Weight loss will still be related to calories in verses calories burned. It takes about 3500 calories lost to lose about one pound. You could see a dietician that can help.
