Who Is A Good Candidate For Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a method of estimating body fat based on a person’s weight and height. Obesity is defined as a BMI of more than 30. Morbid obesity is defined as a BMI between 40 and 50. Extreme obesity is defined as a BMI greater than 50.
A weight-loss procedure may be a possibility for someone who meets the following criteria:
- Is morbidly obese with a BMI of 37.5 or higher
- Is obese with a BMI of 32.5 – 37.5 and has one or more obesity-related illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, or heart disease
- Has already tried non-surgical weight loss approaches without success
- Is ready to make lifestyle adjustments in order to achieve long-term weight loss success
Are There Any Risks To Consider?
Any major surgical procedure has the potential for complications and risks. Blood clots, stomach leakage, and infections are among the short-term risks associated with bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve). Long-term problems and risks are quite rare, but they can include vomiting, malnutrition, gastrointestinal blockage, and low blood sugar.
Whether you encounter any complications also depends on how well you prepare for the surgery and how diligently you take care of yourself after the surgical process. Your surgeon will be there to guide you through every step of the process. The most effective strategy to decrease the risks is to select a renowned surgeon like Dr. Harsh Sheth, who has conducted multiple successful gastric sleeve procedures.
