Phyll 0 Posted April 21, 2006 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.

FunnyDuddies 6 Posted April 22, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phyll 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Then you would have to find a fill dr in the US right ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyDuddies 6 Posted April 22, 2006 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.

princess_n_thep 2 Posted April 22, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWomanWithin 0 Posted April 24, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
