Hi! I saw a few posts on here where people have had weight loss surgery and their BMIs are less than 35. I cannot find a doctor who will perform any type of procedure on me because my BMI is 33. I go to the gym and I eat fairly healthy, I just need a little extra help. I don’t want to take pills. I just want to eat less.

I live in the Northeast part of the US, so finding a doctor should, in theory, be easy. But it’s not. Could someone please send me some info on a doc or program who will help me?

Thanks!!

I think you can go to Mexico for self pay bariatrics below the 35 BMI. I haven't heard of any in the states though. Just be aware that there is a reason that they have a minimum BMI. There is concern that you lose so much you could get close to underweight.

If you have other problems (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea etc) it may help your case. Otherwise medical tourism is an easier path (self pay)

Good Luck ❤

Hi Want to be smaller,

If you are thinking of Medical Tourism in Mexico, please consider Dr. Selim Jalil Illan Fraijo, MD, FACS, FASMBS at Hospital BC.
