Nestor de la Cruz-Munoz MD, FACS, DABOMJuly 12, 2026 The Evidence Is Clear — And It’s Not What Most Patients Expecto The AACE/TOS/ASMBS guidelines are explicit: Very few preoperative factors are sufficiently predictive to give a precise individual weight loss number.This means the honest answer is not a number — it’s a range.The Real Weight Loss Ranges by ProcedureThe most reliable metric is total weight loss percentage (TWL) — not excess weight loss.Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG)· 23–25% TWL at 1 year· 17–19% TWL at 5 years· PCORnet (65,000+ patients): 18.8% TWL at 5 yearsRoux‑en‑Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)· 28–31% TWL at 1 year· 21–26% TWL at 5 years· 20–27% TWL at 10 years· PCORnet: 25.5% TWL at 5 years· SM‑BOSS RCT: 27.5% TWL at 10 yearsOne‑Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)· Highest early TWL· Emerging evidence suggests greater long‑term durability than SG and RYGB· Randomized TrialsBy‑Band‑Sleeve RCT (3‑year outcomes):· RYGB: 26.8% TWL· Sleeve: 19.4% TWL· Band: 14.0% TWLWeight regain after cessation of medication for weight management: systematic review and meta-analysiso West S, Scragg J, Aveyard P, Oke JL, Willis L, Haffner SJP, Knight H, Wang D, Morrow S, Heath L, Jebb SA, Koutoukidis DA.
