Revision surgery is evaluated on an individual basis and is therefore not included in this estimate.
These figures are approximate averages based on the medical literature, generally at 12–24 months. Results are individual and depend on your starting point, the procedure, and your adherence to follow-up. Only a medical evaluation can give you a real estimate for your case.
A transparent, safe process centered on you — no middlemen, no empty promises.

Tool
Calculate your Body Mass Index
BMI relates your weight to your height and is a first reference to know where you stand. It's only a starting point: a medical evaluation determines the best path for you.
Bariatric surgery is generally considered from a BMI of 35 with associated conditions, or 40. Only a medical evaluation can confirm whether you are a candidate.
BMI is a reference tool, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat and does not consider your medical history. Always consult a healthcare professional.
