The majority of patients lose approximately fifty to eighty-five percent of their excess body weight. Our Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass patients typically achieve a loss of at least 60% of excess body weight after six months, and after 12 months at least 75% of excess weight is lost. Excess body weight is the amount of weight above your ideal body weight. Very few people reach their ideal body weight. However, after the surgery your weight will be at a much healthier level.

U.S. Bariatric offers adjustable gastric banding and gastric bypass surgery. The difference in weight loss can vary according to the motivation of the patient and the procedure he or she chose. Usually those who choose the LAP-BAND procedure experience a more gradual weight loss. Our gastric-bypass patients generally enjoy faster results. Our Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass patients achieve a loss of at least 60% of excess body weight after six months (on average), and after 12 months at least 75% of excess weight is lost.
