How Many Years Does a Gastric Sleeve Last?

How long a gastric sleeve is going to last really depends on the patient. While some patients might encounter some issues a few years in, others might not come across problems for more than ten years. Some patients never encounter any problems. The safest assumption is a thorough consultation with your doctor and surgeon, accompanied by regular post-surgery checkups, and healthier eating and overall lifestyle habits.
