Estimated Weight Loss by Procedure

Understanding the potential weight loss outcomes for different bariatric surgery procedures can help set realistic expectations for patients. Here are the estimated weight loss figures for various bariatric surgeries based on recent research:

  1. General Bariatric Surgery:
    • More than 4 years after their surgery, patients typically lose about 17.8% of their total body weight or 43.0% of their excess weight (source).
  2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY):
    • After 3 to 5 years, patients have reported an average reduction of 30% of their total body weight (source).
    • Approximately 84.2% of these patients maintain this weight loss 3 years after the surgery (source).
  3. Spatz Adjustable Balloon System:
    • By 6 months, patients experience an average excess weight loss of 26.4% (source).
  4. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) vs. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB):
    • A systematic review comparing LSG and LRYGB found no significant difference in BMI change between the two procedures. Both were effective and reliable treatments for morbid obesity. The study suggests the need for more trial studies with greater sample sizes and longer follow-up periods to decide on selecting a certain surgical procedure (source).

These findings highlight the effectiveness of different bariatric procedures in achieving significant weight loss and maintaining it over time. Each procedure has its own set of outcomes, and understanding these can aid in making an informed decision about which surgical option might be best for individual needs and goals.
