I am 5'2 and approx 90% endomorph weighing in at 175. Am I a candidate for weight loss surgery?

Hello and happy new year!Obesity is a multifactorial disease, it means that is cause by different causes like low methabolism, low activity or eating more that you need or eating junk food or sweets...what you can do is that you could fight with all the tools that you have. Bariatric surgery is another tool, the solution is to identify what´s wrong and chage.Your BMI is 32, today we have a lot of evidence about the benefits of bariatric surgey in lower BMI, i can told you that too for our practice experience but with my testimonie too, i had sleeved 1.6 years ago and was one of the best desicion that i ever took.Blessings....

Your current BMI is 32 kg/m2, but you did not mention if you had any success with your diet and exercise program? It would also be very important to rule out any reversible causes for obesity. Having said that, insurance companies generally do not cover Bariatric surgery until BMI is 35 and with a weight related comorbid condition. You certainly could have a weight loss procedure, but your costs would be out of pocket and not covered by insurance
