Bmi Of 30... Surgeons?

[fe9104 1]

Hey,

I have a BMI of 30. I have a lot of difficulty loosing weight and have Polysistic symdrome as well as a thyroid issue which makes it more difficulties. Does anyone know any doctors in the US that would do the surgery with my bmi?

To be honest, I have no idea. I'm sure there's at least ONE doctor that would. Personally, mine only would if you had a BMI higher than 40, or 35 if you had comordibities. I have a BMI of 30 now and I couldn't imagine getting the surgery where I'm at. I'm not sure how tall you are, but I'm 5'7" so my weight might be distributed a little better. I also have PCOS and hypothyroidism.

I had a BMI of 36 when I had my surgery this past Monday. If you are self pay, more doctors might be willing to do it. I'm not sure if insurance would cover it. It's worth looking into.

Yes, there are surgeons. If you're like me and are only able to stay at that BMI because of excessive, dangerous diet pill use, I have found an understanding surgeon who operates on the lower BMI ones. My BMI is 32.5.

I have a BMI of 32.6 and am having surgery in August but I am a self pay.

Honestly, most of the doctors is Mexico would do it. You might get flack from some US doctors, but in Mexico, they will take you with open arms.
