5ft4, 62kg, normal BMI suitability for gastric sleeve?

You are not a candidate for weight loss surgery, basically you are at your ideal weight, so sorry. you have to hire a nutritionist

Your BMI is 23.5, which falls within the normal weight range and is below the threshold for gastric sleeve eligibility at our practice. We perform gastric sleeve surgery for patients with a BMI between 25 and 50, typically for those who are overweight or obese and struggling with significant, long-term weight management issues.
Since you are at a healthy weight and following a Mediterranean diet, your concerns seem to be more about portion control rather than weight loss itself. Gastric sleeve surgery is designed to help patients lose a significant amount of weight, and in your case, it may not be the best fit. Instead, you might benefit from nutritional coaching, mindful eating strategies, or a medical weight management plan to help with portion control while maintaining a balanced diet.
If you find portion sizes challenging to manage, I’d recommend consulting with a nutritionist or considering non-surgical interventions first. If your BMI increases to 25 or above, then we could reassess whether gastric sleeve would be an appropriate option for you.

I hear your concern about portion sizes and the desire to consider a sleeve procedure as a preventative measure. It’s worth acknowledging that while surgery can be very effective for weight management, it’s often recommended for people with a higher BMI or weight-related health concerns. Since your weight is still within a healthy range, there may be other, gentler approaches we could explore first.
Sometimes, even small adjustments – like slightly reducing portions of calorie-dense foods or finding creative ways to make lower-calorie meals more satisfying – can have a meaningful impact without making you feel deprived. We could also look at options like non-surgical interventions, including gastric balloons, if you feel that portion control remains a struggle.
Also, many people find it helpful to work with a nutritionist or therapist who can provide guidance and support in managing portions and cravings without the need for surgery.

Hello there. If your BMI (body mass index) is above 30, then we can do the surgery. However, yours is 23.3 which means very normal and healthy at that point. I recommend you to do good diet and exercise.

Actually the mentioned BMI makes you unsuitable for gastric sleeve. The sleeve procedure is indicated for those more than 30 with comorbidities or above 35 with no diseases according yo recent guidelines

Hello, hope you are well. Based on the metrics you provided, your calculated BMI would be 23.3, which means your would not necessarily qualified for a gastric sleeve. My recommendation would be for you to be assessed by a nutritionist and psychologist specialized in the field. This would be beneficial as if in the future, you are to qualify, you would need to be followed up by these specialitis either way. Hope this answer was helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if anything else comes up.
