FAQs
Everything You Need to Know— Answered
How Will This Procedure Affect My Stomach?
Many patients want to know just how this procedure will impact the everyday function of their stomachs. The main change you will experience is in the size of your stomach. After the procedure, the gastric sleeve is approximately the size of a banana. It will still expand like a full-sized stomach, but it will hold less food and help you feel full sooner. In addition, this surgery impacts the portion of the stomach that controls hormone release and hunger cravings. With this section safely removed, the majority of our patients report that they not only feel full after eating but that their hunger cravings are dramatically reduced. These combined procedure results help set you up for success as you lose weight without affecting the basic functions and health of your stomach and digestive processes.
How will the Low BMI Gastric Sleeve help me improve my health?
It’s estimated that almost 40% of Americans are over the weight that is considered healthy for their body type. Instead of providing a viable solution, the weight loss industry offers short-term treatments and sub-par results. Many of our patients are unsatisfied with their appearance due to their weight. We’re prepared to help you reach your ideal image, but we’re also committed to improving your health. Excess weight can cause serious medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. These conditions can prevent you from living your life to the fullest and may come with long-term side effects.
How Much Weight Could I Lose?
While every patient’s experience and results are different, our patients have experienced great success with weight loss after low BMI bariatric surgery. Once you have recovered from surgery, our team will assist you in starting your weight loss journey. Thanks to the smaller size of your stomach, you will notice that you eat less food and feel full much more quickly. In addition, your hunger cravings will be significantly suppressed. When combined with a balanced, nutritious diet and regular exercise, this surgery can assist you in losing up to 30-100% of excess pounds over the following 6-12 months. The average weight loss is 10-15 pounds and often more per month until your goal is achieved.
