Individual results vary
Outcomes from any bariatric procedure — including weight loss, metabolic improvements, and resolution of comorbid conditions — vary significantly between individuals and are influenced by genetics, adherence, medical history, surgical technique, and long-term follow-up. No specific outcome is guaranteed.
Risks of surgery
All surgical procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy, carry risks. Risks include but are not limited to bleeding, infection, staple-line leak, blood clots, anesthesia complications, nutritional deficiencies, gastroesophageal reflux, and the potential need for revisional surgery. A complete discussion of personal risk must occur with a qualified surgeon during the informed consent process.
