• Patients are able to be discharged from the hospital as early as 24 hours post surgery. 

​

• Patients are closely followed post-operatively for a period of up to 5 years.

​

• Everyone is unique and may burn fat faster than others. There's no set expectation for how much weight you will lose in the first, second, or third year following surgery.

​

• Weight loss surgery should not be thought of as a "quick fix". Following a diet and exercise plan maximizes the results.

​

• Stay motivated by setting clear goals and realistic expectations. And, don't forget to celebrate the non-scale victories.
