36 years old, 5'1", 180 pounds. Can I get a sleeve bypass surgery?

Hello,Thank you for your question!
Unfortunately, Bariatric Surgeries are performed after 35 BMI and your BMI is 34. But we can suggest you gastric balloon or gastric botox. These procedures can help you as well.

At 5'1" and 180 pounds, your BMI is around 34, which puts you in the obese category. This means you likely qualify for weight loss surgery, especially if you have health conditions related to your weight, such as insulin resistance, PCOS, joint pain, or extreme fatigue.
A gastric sleeve could help by reducing your stomach size, making it easier to eat less and feel full faster. However, given your history of metabolic struggles and difficulty losing weight even with extreme calorie restriction, a gastric bypass might be a better option. Gastric bypass not only limits portion sizes but also changes how your body absorbs food, which could be more effective in helping you reach a healthy weight.
If your goal is to get back to your normal weight of 130-145 pounds and nothing else has worked, weight loss surgery is definitely an option worth considering.

Hello, hope you are well. One of the eligibility factors for bariatric surgery is the BMI, which cannot be calculated based on weight alone, as your height is also needed. Based on your reported symptoms, weight loss journery, and probable elevated BMI, you would qualify for bariatric surgery. However, you woud have to be evaluated by a cerfied riatric surgeon in order to determine which procedure you qualify for, as it would not necesarrily be a bypass. Hope this answer was helpful.
