Hi, I have a bmi of 32,off on holiday next week so it is bound to rise over the two weeks away, my question is this,is there any way I can get a sleeve with this bmi, Ive been offered the band but really don't want it as there seems so many complications and horror stories Would it help my case if my mum and two sisters have developed type 2 diabetes and my dad has had to have a quadruple heart bypass? Anyone had the sleeve in uk with lower bmi and who did you go with? Any advice greatly welcomed x

Thanks anyway but I was asking for suggestions in the uk x

Flipper98c, who is your surgeon and where is his surgery please x

Hi, no was going to pay privately x

Bmi is 32 so don't think I'd be considered for the other options ????

Hi, which has a better success rate long term, the band or Plication? I have an appointment with a consultant about having a band done in a few weeks but am concerned about something going wrong,slippage etc many years down the line How does Plication weight loss compare over the years, can it be stretched and lose restriction or are there any other complications that any one has had with Plication Any advice please or anyone had one but wished that they had chosen the other? Thanks x

Thanks guys, due to my bmi the band or Plication are my only options ☹️

Thanks for the replies, it's so confusing when you hear so many conflicting stories, some love the band and others would avoid it like the plague! Lol The only thing putting me off Plication is long term effects are not yet known The surgeon who I chose for the band also offers 5 year aftercare package to cover any surgery complications and has the lowest publicised complications Thanks again x
