I am 38 year old and my BMI is 28, all of my fat is located in my stomach, back and arms. Is there any weight loss surgery I qualify for? I tried the obera ball 2 years ago, however I had to have it removed early because the ball started to expand inside my stomach due to my extremely slow metabolism.

Answer: Is there any weight loss surgery I qualify for with BMI 28? In some special cases, we can perform a sleeve gastrectomy on low BMI obese patients, especially in your case, since you have tried everything to loose weight, including a balloon.

Answer: Candidate for surgery Hi there, you are a good candidate for surgery. Explore your options between the common Bariatric procedures, like a Gastric Bypass, Gastric Plication, or VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy). I suggest you have a consult with a certified Bariatric Surgeon, so we can recommend the surgery that best suits your needs, taking into consideration your age, your medical history, and your goals. In your case and with the description you gave, I would recommend considering a VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) this surgery will help you to have better eating habits and a healthier lifestyle. The sleeve gastrectomy has shown to be a very effective metabolic procedure in obesity remission and control of metabolic diseases, helping you to achieve a healthier lifestyle. -A.L
