Because you can eat a lot less, but still feel full, you have a greater ability to lose weight. This surgery is not reversible.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible for a person having Gastric Sleeve surgery to lose between 40% and 70% of their excess weight in the first 1-2 years after surgery. The extent of your weight loss will also depend on your commitment to the supporting eating and exercise plan. The long-term success of this surgery can also depend on adopting an eating plan that does not stretch the remaining section of stomach.<\/p>\n<p>A personal consultation with Dr Ma will help you find out whether this is the right weight loss surgery for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/drsuzannema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Laparoscopic-Sleeve-Gastrectomy.pdf\"><strong>-&gt; Download Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy PDF<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/drsuzannema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/General-Anaesthetic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-&gt; Download General Anaesthetic Information Sheet PDF<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#c4c4c4&#8243; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.98&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.98&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;20px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; box_shadow_position=&#8221;outer&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.98&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Body Mass Index (BMI): A Quick Calculator<\/h4>\n<p>If your BMI is 30 \u2013 39.9, you are considered to be obese; 40 \u2013 49.9 is morbidly obese, and 50+ is super obese.
