Bariatric surgery is an option for some people living with severe obesity or obesity complicated by other health conditions. It’s generally recommended for:
✔️ Those with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²
✔️ Those with a BMI between 35 and 40 kg/m² with related conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, severe asthma)
✔️ Those with a BMI between 30 and 35 kg/m² with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes
This procedure requires strict medical follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes.
👉 Have you ever received a full medical evaluation for obesity?
👉 Has your weight significantly impacted your health or quality of life?
👉Have you discussed bariatric surgery with a healthcare professional?
