MB surgery criteria

Good evening everyone,

I am so happy to see all the posts of people waiting to have and having had surgery.  Imagine in MB finally.  How wonderful.  Does anyone know if the criteria has opened up a bit for surgery.  I was referred about four months ago but got a letter saying I did not meet the criteria.  At that time it was 55 years or under and a BMI of lower than 47.

I haven't heard anything yet, but I will ask the dietician if she heard anything next week when I meet with her. :) All these doctors are new to this procedure even if they are bariatric surgeons. They want to give us all the best chance, with the least complications. Don't worry! They fully intend to open it up :) *hugs*

Thanks Kokonut I really appreciate you asking.
