Welcome to our Report Card for APRIL 2022

I’m glad that we continue to have ZERO complications this month. 29 patients went through and recovered from surgery safely.

The average excess weight loss was 84.1%, which means that patients on average would lose 84.1% of their excess weight 1 year after gastric sleeve.

The average total weight loss was 37.4 kg (12 to 82kg) and 32.1% (13.2% to 52.2%).
Thank you for maintaining your regular follow-up and responding to our surveys.

I was asked before why I wanted to do bariatric surgery. This recent Email from a patient who had sleeve gastrectomy offers the best answer.

I'm glad I could be part of your journey to become lighter, healthier and happier. I feel truly blessed.

Thank you all for your trust and your effort!
