Question

Hello Thanks for the question. You BMI is 25.4 , you have a few extra pounds. Doing some exercises and healthy food you can lose them. So you do not need a gastric sleeve.Blessings Dr. Pablo

Guillermo Alvarez, MD · Answer

With your current height and weight your BMI comes down to a "Normal" range. You will not find an ethical surgeon that will perform a sleeve on you. Patients have to meet a certain criteria for the surgery.

I hope this helps.

regards,

Dr. Alvarez
