gastric sleeve advice please

[Mrsrcm 0]

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

Is this on the NHS? If so, I've no idea as it seems to be a bit of a postcode lottery. My BMI was over 40 and I still didn't qualify in my area. Sorry I can't help.

Hi, no was going to pay privately x

Best thing to do is approach a couple of clinics and ask.

Most places will operate at a bmi of 40 with no comorbidities, or a bmi of 35 if you have them, so I think you find it difficult as for most places they will consider your bmi too low.

I have a bmi of 34, but also have high blood pressure. So the HBP is the comorbidity that is qualifing me for the sleeve. Here in Mi. The bmi must be 35 with no comorbidities. I dont think you families situation will help.could you self pay? I would inquire with your insurance carrier. Good luck

I think if you are happy to pay you will find that in UK you will find a clinic that will do your sleeve

I had my op with BMI at Werndale hospital Carmarthen paid privately
