Bmi

[Phyll 0]

Does anyone know what is the lowest bmi you can have to be banded ?

Any doctors out there ?

This tool would be great as a maintanance tool for those of use who have struggled to keep our weight off. My bmi is currently 28 but has been high as 50.

Thanks

27 in Mexico is the lowest I have heard of. Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana.< /p>

I know there are some surgeons in France that will do your surgery atany BMI if you can prove that you have trouble staying at a healthy weight. They use it to combat obesity even when you are at a low point.

Then you would have to find a fill dr in the US right ?

[FunnyDuddies 6]

yes, and sometimes it can be tough, but not impossible

there are more available to do fills for doctors outside the us than there used to be. i think the us surgeons are starting to realize that they should not be so stuck up about it.

Not always, I return to Mexico for my fills as it is cheaper. There is also www.fillcentersusa.com if you want to stay in the US.

Funnyduddies, I have not heard of that.

Where did you find that info out? I have a friend who's bmi is not really high, but she has trouble keeping weight off.
