Medical Weight Loss
More so than weight, we look at Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI, determined by your height and weight, gives us information on the amount of body fat expected to potentially complicate a surgery. For an MTR, it is best to have a BMI of less than 30 (ie. a 5’6″ patient who weighs less than 185 lbs). A BMI of less than 25 is ‘normal.’ The bigger the patient, the bigger the incision and the more difficult the surgery. Also, heavier patients tend to have more fertility issues. We can do a tubal reversal to anyone with a BMI of less than 35, but for safety issues, patients with BMIs above this are not the best surgical candidates. If your BMI is above 35, please make every attempt to achieve weight loss through a strict dieting and exercise program. Please realize that optimal weight will increase your fertility as well and that we want to make sure that you are fertile so that you will be able to get pregnant after we reverse your tubes. A BMI calculator is available at www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi
