Answer: Cosmetic surgery post gastric sleeve If you are considering a cosmetic procedure after a gastric sleeve, you should wait until reaching maximal weight loss with maintenance of that particular weight. This is usually 12 to 18 months post op. It is very important that you take your vitamins as recommended by your bariatric surgeon and keep up with your daily protein requirement for healthy wound healing.

Answer: Stable weight for six months Once your weight has been stable for six months then you can get surgery. If you get it before you may need more surgery later. See a good plastic surgeon who has dealt with weight loss surgery patients previously.
