Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Timeline, Chart – What You Can Expect!

Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Timeline, Chart – What You Can Expect!Ron Elli, Ph.D.2022-04-05T15:28:04+00:00

Gastric sleeve surgery is an effective tool for obese individuals to lose weight and keep it off long-term. Studies have been performed to depict both short-term and long-term success rates after gastric sleeve surgery.

Most gastric sleeve patients lose an average of 65-70% of their excess weight (EW) in a year – an average of 2-3 pounds per week. Patients lost up to 75% of their EW in two years. Resolution of comorbidities occurs in just one to two years following weight loss surgery.

One Swiss study learned that patients kept off at least 57% of their excess weight five years following their surgery. Long-term success shows significant improvements in the risk of stroke or heart disease and a decrease in countless obesity-related medical conditions.

Weight Loss Percentage Rate After Gastric Sleeve

Your weight at each stage of your journey depends on several factors, such as surgeon’s skills, starting weight, diet, lifestyle, age, race, and health-related issues. However, here is an average sleeve Weight Loss Timeline at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months milestones:

Expected Rate of Weight Loss in 3 Months

You will follow the post-op diet and gradually transition from liquid to solid food. As a result, you can expect a quick surge in your weight loss in the first 3 months following surgery. You could lose an average of 25-35%* excess weight – between 30 and 40 pounds.

Expected Rate of Weight Loss in 6 Months

At this stage of your journey, your weight loss continues but at a lower pace. In 6 months after the surgery, you will lose an average of 45-55%* of your body excess weight – an average of one to two pounds per week.

Expected Rate of Weight Loss in 1 Year

You should be getting close to your goal weight in one year after sleeve surgery, of course not everyone loses all the excess weight in this stage. You will lose an average of 65-70%* of your body excess weight.

Expected Rate of Weight Loss in 18 Months

Expect your weight loss to level off in 1.5 years after undergoing the sleeve procedure. In general, you can expect to lose 70-80%* or more of your body excess weight in 18 months.

Long-Term Expected Weight Loss

The U.S. National Library of Medicine Study looked at how successful gastric sleeve surgery was at helping patients keep weight off for an extended period. It looked at the results of patients who had the surgery five years ago. Things such as total weight loss, how quickly weight was lost, quality of life, and complications were all evaluated.

Patients followed up at one, two, and three years after weight loss surgery. Those who underwent sleeve gastrectomy had a significantly improved long-term weight loss chart than other obesity-treating procedures. Also within the gastric sleeve weight loss chart, 60% of the patients studied had experienced major weight loss between one and two years (18 months) post-operation. Out of all candidates, only 6.3% of all patients had any complications whatsoever.

How much weight do you lose 30 days after gastric sleeve?

The amount of weight loss will depend on the person and the procedure. But it tends to be rapid in the first few months. During the first 30 days after bariatric surgery, the average weight loss is 5 to 15 pounds per week. Men tend to lose weight at a faster pace than women.

How much weight do you lose in the first 2 months after gastric sleeve?

Most patients lose an average of 2-4 lbs a week for the first 6 months to a year following surgery. This results in an average monthly weight loss after gastric sleeve to be between 8 and 16 lbs.

You can expect most of your weight loss to occur in the first six months and this can be as much as 50 percent of your excess weight.

How much weight did you lose the first week after gastric sleeve?

My general experience with a typical patient after undergoing a verticle sleeve gastectomy (VSG) is that they lose approximately one-half pound a day for the first six weeks (3 to 4 pounds per week) and then about one-third of a pound a day for the next six weeks (2 to 3 pounds per week).
