I had gastric sleeve surgery 9/2020 and I am already dying to get my MMO. My BMI is currently around 33. I have had a few consultations and mixed answers on if I should wait longer. I would love to have surgery around my one year mark and ideally a few pounds lighter but I’m not expecting to be at my goal weight by then. I feel like a huge portion of my weight is from my hanging abdomen though and i am ready for it to be gone! What are the pros and cons of getting a MMO at a higher BMI?

Answer: Wait For optimal results it is best for you to wait until you have reached your goal weight and are able to maintain it. This is often around a year after your gastric sleeve surgery. This will allow the surgeon to maximize the efforts of your weight loss. Good luck!
