Questions
What most patients ask.
Am I a candidate?+
Typical criteria: BMI 35+ (or 30+ with comorbidities like type-2 diabetes or sleep apnoea). Your surgeon will confirm candidacy after medical review.
What's the difference between sleeve and bypass?+
Sleeve removes ~80% of the stomach — simpler, faster, 60-70% excess weight loss typical. Bypass also reroutes part of the small intestine — higher weight loss (70-80%) but more complex; often preferred where reflux is a significant concern.
What about long-term follow-up?+
Refyn coordinates structured 12-month Zoom follow-up with your partner clinic's bariatric team plus a UK-based dietitian if you'd like one.
