Yes, it is possible to continue losing weight even 5 years after gastric sleeve surgery. The amount of weight loss and the rate of weight loss may vary depending on individual factors such as diet, exercise, and other health conditions. Some patients may continue to lose weight for up to 2-3 years after surgery before reaching their optimal weight. After this point, weight loss may slow down, but patients can still maintain their weight loss and continue to improve their overall health and well-being.
It's important to note that while gastric sleeve surgery can help patients achieve significant weight loss, it is not a magic solution for weight loss. Patients must commit to making significant lifestyle changes, including following a healthy diet and exercise program, to achieve and maintain their weight loss goals.
It's also important for patients to attend regular follow-up appointments with their healthcare provider to monitor their progress and address any issues or concerns that may arise. Your healthcare provider may recommend adjustments to your diet and exercise program as needed to help you continue to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Overall, with proper post-operative care and a commitment to making healthy lifestyle changes, patients can achieve long-term weight loss and maintain the benefits of gastric sleeve surgery.
