On this website, patients with BMI 30 and above can be considered suitable for gastric sleeve evaluation. That wording is important because it reflects a first screening step rather than a final medical decision.
Why BMI matters
BMI gives the medical team an initial snapshot of body weight relative to height. It helps start the conversation, especially for international patients who want to know whether gastric sleeve surgery might be relevant to discuss.
Why BMI alone is not enough
Doctor assessment still matters because medical history, current medications, chronic diseases, allergies, previous surgeries and general risk factors can affect suitability. Two patients with the same BMI may still have very different treatment plans.
What if your BMI is 30?
A BMI of 30 may be considered for evaluation. The next step is to send complete details rather than assuming eligibility from the number alone.
What if your BMI is below 30?
You may still request an assessment, but gastric sleeve suitability depends on medical evaluation. The safest and most realistic approach is to ask rather than self-diagnose from an online number.
