Intellectual157063
Follow-up question - I had gastric sleeve abroad as had low BMI (27). The highest BMI I have ever been is 30. The operation went smoothly but disappointed to learn surgeon removed 65% stomach & 80% ghrelin. I am now looking to re-sleeve but my BMI IS 25. Would a surgeon operate on me ? Pls note my ethnicity increases the risk of health issues with a BMI of 23 or more and I have pre-existing auto-immune condition. and can I expect 100% ghrelin removal and total 80-90% stomach removal
