Whats the success rate for gastric bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery has a success rate, in the literature, of between 70 and 80 per cent over a five year period. So we measure success in the bariatric world as having lost between 50 and 80 percent of your excess weight and keeping it off for five years. So I’d expect about 80% of my patients to keep their weight off for 5 years and probably 70% over 10 years.
