Is Weight Loss Surgery cheating?
Contrary to popular belief, weight loss surgery isn’t “cheating.” I make a point to bring this up during initial consultations. Surgery doesn’t lose the weight for you. It doesn’t allow you to eat terribly and stay slender post-surgery. Surgery is just a tool to help you reach your goals.
Is there excess skin after gastric sleeve?

How long does it take to get approved for bariatric surgery?

How much weight do you have to lose before gastric sleeve?
Some patients are required to lose 10 percent of their weight before weight-loss surgery is performed. For other patients, losing just 15 to 20 pounds right before surgery is enough to reduce the risk of complications. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s pre-surgery diet and nutrition guidelines.
