Gastric Sleeve Before-and-After FAQs
How much weight will I lose with a gastric sleeve?
The typical gastric sleeve patient loses 60–70% of their excess body weight over the first 12–18 months. So if you're 100 lb above your ideal weight, expect to lose 60–70 lb of that excess. Individual results vary based on starting BMI, age, sex, activity, and how strictly you follow the post-op protein and exercise plan.
When were the "after" photos in these testimonials taken?
Most of these patients filmed their testimonials between 9 and 24 months after their sleeve procedure — when weight loss has stabilized and lifestyle changes are integrated. We avoid showing only "honeymoon period" results because they don't reflect long-term reality.
How long is the recovery after gastric sleeve in Mexico?
The standard ALO Bariatrics sleeve package includes 2 nights in the hospital and 3 nights in our recovery hotel. Most patients fly home day 6 and return to a desk job within 7–10 days. Strenuous exercise resumes around week 4. Full recovery (including lifting heavy and abdominal core work) is 6 weeks.
What does the gastric sleeve cost at ALO Bariatrics?
Gastric sleeve starts at $4,500 USD all-inclusive. That includes the surgeon, anesthesiologist, hospital, pre-op blood work, recovery hotel, and 24/7 bilingual coordinator. See the full pricing page for line-item details.
Will I have loose skin after sleeve surgery?
Some loose skin is normal after losing 60+ lb. Skin elasticity depends on age, genetics, hydration, and rate of weight loss. Many patients see significant tightening with consistent strength training over 12–18 months. For more severe cases, our sister clinic ALO Aesthetic handles body contouring (tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift) 12–24 months after the sleeve.
Am I a candidate for gastric sleeve?
Standard sleeve candidacy: BMI 30+ with weight-related comorbidities (diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, joint pain), or BMI 35+ without. Take the candidacy quiz or calculate your BMI to start.
Where do these gastric sleeve procedures take place?
At three accredited hospitals: Hospital Dreams in Tijuana, Hospital Puerta de Hierro in Guadalajara, and Centro Médico Joya in Puerto Vallarta. Visit our gastric sleeve page for full details on each.
