Answer: Does weight pose a risk when undergoing surgery? First of all, it's important to be healthy with a height and weight proportionate and in good nutritional balance. Patients that are significantly overweight can have anesthesia issues, so it's always best to be close to your ideal body weight. Being slightly underweight is acceptable. Look up your own BMI, or body mass index

Answer: Pre Op clearance Thank you for reaching out. I would suggest you stay in close contact with your surgeon and let them know about your illness and weight loss, he/she will likely have you get blood work prior to surgery to make sure you are clear for surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Kim
