Thanks, they all worked hard to achieve their goals.

My mortality rate is zero. In the literature (studies looking at many patients who had surgery) , the mortality rate is between 0.04% and 0.09% depending on the study you look at and the time frame over which the study was done. Stated another way, the mortality rate is less than 1 in 1000.

Congratulations!

@@Dr.BrandonAndrewMD thank you!!

Yes, regarding PCOS Bariatric surgery can improve hormonal and menstrual issues related to PCOS and promotes successful pregnancy. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7538203/#:~:text=In%20all%20of%20the%20studies,resolution%20of%20metabolic%20syndrome%20occurs.

Great question! Gastric secretions such as acid are decreased since 80% of the stomach is removed. Ghrelin production is also reduced, and since Ghrelin is a hormone that increases hunger, a patient's hunger level decreases after surgery, this is one of the significant mechanisms by which the sleeve achieves its weight loss effect. Intrinsic factor is also decreased, and is the reason why patients need to have B12 supplementation after surgery. If patients take their vitamin supplementation, which is required lifelong, there is not expected to be any negative long-term consequence. This is a simplification of very complex system, there are some textbooks and articles explaining this in more depth.

I’m interested in doing this surgery my weight is really much now

@@DanisGrace I did it in march 2023 and I weighed 161 kg at my highest weight now I’m 115 kg and still losing weight and don’t have loose skin because I’m still full just not as big anymore. I feel beautiful and younger and people notice me again I’m no longer invisible 💃🏽 yeah

The gastric sleeve has lower complications compared to the bypass. You can check, riskcalculator.facs.org/bariatric/patientoutcomes.jsp to understand the risk. However, this is a measure of average risk and outcomes over a wide variety of institutions. These results will vary by institution. You are welcome to setup an appointment with us to discuss further.

Glad to hear. Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

Happy Thanksgivings to you too!

Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work!!!

It is incredibly rewarding to see how much someone's life can improve after surgery, and to see all of the things they can do that they couldn't do before.
