BMI too high for gastric balloon?
Hi everyone,
I reached out to a local weight loss surgery office to ask about the balloon. I was disappointed because they said my BMI was too high for the balloon, that I would require a regular surgery. The reason I am not wanting to do that is because I am high risk because of an immune system disease.
Has anyone ever heard of the BMI issue with the balloon? I am not sure if it is just the one office. BMI is 60, they said it needs to be below 50.
Thanks!
