I had family members recommend me the gastric sleeve but I'm aware that i am not a candidate for the gastric sleeve. I wanted to know if there was some kind of similar procedure. I did read about a "mini" gastric but i would like to know more information. Ive been struggling with my weight since high school and have been considering lipo but i want a lifetime change. Im aware that diet and excerise are key to keep weight off, but again, I've been struggling, i need help. Please!
Answer: Candidate for gastric sleeve Due to your body mass index, you would be a candidate for a gastric sleeve, the minigastric is for patients with morbid obesity and who have metabolic disease. You have a BMI of 30, you are in the lower limit allowed for a bariatric procedure.

Answer: Gastric balloon or ESG could be beneficial Since your BMI is around 30, you may not qualify for traditional gastric sleeve or bypass surgeries, which are typically recommended for individuals with a higher BMI. However, there are less invasive weight loss procedures that might be suitable for you, especially given your desire for a long-term solution and your struggles with diet and exercise.

Answer: I'm 28 years old, 5'2 and weigh 165 lbs and have IBS. Is there some kind of gastric procedure I can have? Hello, I hope you are well. I am sorry to hear you struggle with IBS. Even though you may not be eligible for most bariatric procedures, fortunately IBS is not a contraindication to a gastric sleeve. Based on the metrics you provided your calculated BMI would be 30, which places you in Obesity type I. I recommed you are evaluated by a bariatric surgeon in rder to determine your eligibility.

Answer: Mini There is no such a thing as "Mini" Surgery.Every procedure has side effect & complications and calling it "Mini" is a misrepresentation.Gastric Sleeve with smaller size of stomach will not give you a desired weight.So, my advice is to look at "Standard Gastric Bypass.
