Gastric sleeve and gastric balloon before & after.
Explore two different treatment pathways without mixing their outcomes. We use images already published in the IOC archive and do not add unverified weight or timeline claims.
Published gastric sleeve patient journeys.
Images stay within the same treatment group. Where starting weight or elapsed time is not verified, no additional clinical claim is added.
Gastric balloon results from the IOC archive.
Images stay within the same treatment group. Where starting weight or elapsed time is not verified, no additional clinical claim is added.
A photograph is not the full clinical context.
Starting measurements, treatment date, related conditions and follow-up data can be published only when they are within the confirmed sharing scope. When they are absent, we do not estimate them.
- Sleeve and balloon galleries remain separate
- No unverified weight or timeline is added
- Outcome variability is stated clearly
- Suitability is determined only through assessment
What to know when viewing patient photographs.
Compare options using your medical history and clinical assessment—not a photograph alone.
01Do before-and-after photographs guarantee my result?+
No. Starting weight, health, treatment type, elapsed time, nutrition and follow-up differ between people. The images show published patient journeys only.
02Why do some photographs not include weight and dates?+
Permission to share a photograph may not cover weight, dates or medical history. We do not add details that are unverified or outside the confirmed sharing scope.
03Can gastric sleeve and gastric balloon results be compared directly?+
No. They are different treatment pathways. Suitability and expected outcomes should be considered with the procedure type, individual assessment and follow-up plan.
04Can I speak with real patients?+
The IOC Gastric Sleeve Support Group connects people researching treatment with more than 300 post-operative patients. Peer experience does not replace medical advice.
