Am I eligible for the obesity procedures?
There are internationally agreed patient criteria for performing weight loss surgery that are based on BMI measurements.
- BMI of 40 or greater
- BMI 35 – 40 & associated obesity related serious illnesses
- Patients who have tried supervised dieting programs & dietary education without success
If your BMI is 30-35, then Dr Adib will carefully assess your medical history, age & your family history of obesity & associated serious illnesses. He will then consider your particular case before making a decision about your eligibility for surgery.
The best way to find out if you are eligible for surgery is to make an appointment & talk it over with us.
