Jun 20, 2019
Yes! You are a candidate for bariatric surgery. You will need to discuss with your surgeon which is the best option for you given your medical history, etc but usually a restrictive procedure like a gastric sleeve works best for patients with a low BMI ike yourself.

Hello There!
A BMI of 30 is the minimum BMI for having a sleeve surgery, this is when you reach the obese category.

Hello
Regarding PCOS and Gastric Sleeve :
In our experience the majority of our patients with PCOS have a strong relationship between insulin resistance and abdominal fat. After having the gastric sleeve surgery these patients lose abdominal fat and insulin resistance improves dramatically. 80% of our sleeve patients with PCOS experience a reduction in symptoms.
Your surgeon will do a thorough evaluation to determine…
