Studies show that men and women living with overweight and obesity are at higher risk when it comes to infertility and pregnancy complications. Read our blogs below to find out more:

You will need to follow a pre-operative diet for at least 2 weeks prior to your weight loss surgery. You will have a discussion with your dietitian prior to your procedure to discuss the best pre-op diet for you. You can find out more about the pre-operative diet in the nutrition section on our health hub.

Currently there is no maximum Body Mass Index (BMI) for weight loss surgery. However, all cases at Streamline are treated differently and we will look into your BMI, lifestyle and health conditions.
The amount of weight you are expected to lose from bariatric surgery will differ depending on the type of weight loss surgery you have and most importantly, you as an individual. On average, a gastric band patient is expected to lose 50% excess weight within the first year, a gastric sleeve patient is expected to lose up to 60% of their excess weight and a gastric bypass patient is expected to lose 70% of their excess weight.
