Most patients lose 60–80% of their excess weight around 12 months, depending on the procedure and commitment to lifestyle changes.
What is the best weight loss procedure?
The best procedure varies by individual needs, health goals, and medical history. Common options include gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. We’ll guide you to the choice that suits you best.
I would like to proceed. What’s the process?

FAQs general surgery
Will anti reflux surgery stop my heartburn for good?

After laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, most people return to light activities within a few days and feel fully recovered in 1–2 weeks.
How long is the recovery after hernia repair?
Recovery typically takes 2 weeks for light activities, but full healing for more strenuous tasks may take 4–6 weeks, depending on the type of hernia.
Is an endoscopy painful?
No, it’s not painful. You’ll be sedated during the procedure, and most patients don’t remember it at all. You might feel a mild sore throat after, but it resolves quickly.
