You can try Alberto Aceves, Ponce de leon, Dr. Joya and Liza Maria Pompa.

I am sure Almanza probably does also.

I have BMI of 30. I'm going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. A friend of mine with a BMI of 28 went to Dr. Almanza-Reyes in TJ.

Anyone know a doctor that will do the gastric sleeve on someone with a bmi of 30 ?

Hi Susan

I don't think that any Dr in US will do that surgery with BMI less than 40 except those Patient with BMI 35-39 with majors health problem, I'm in that case my BMI is 34.5 and I looking the posibility to do it in other place with that BMI and some health problems like Hypertension, gastric acid reflux, arthritis, and high risk of diabetes I'm in the need of a final result to my weight, as all of us I has been dieting all my life with the result of gaining back and more the weight lossed in the diet, do more research and ask don't stop and continue looking for your goal.

Good luck

I have a "low" BMI as well. I will be operated in Arhens in 9 days.

My surgeon told me, that

does not have the same retrictions on a VSG as a bypass operation.

There fore many surgeons outside USA will operate at a BMI of 30 - Sweden and Greece in Europe, and a lot of other places.

Cross m fingers for you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
