<p>The popular weight loss surgery is majorly done in people with a BMI of 35 and above, and when diet and exercise haven't worked. People with serious health problems because of weight are also likely to undergo the surgery. There is no accepted maximum BMI value considered to be prohibitive for those in need of bariatric surgery. However, it is commonly known that an increased BMI can raise the risk of post-surgical complications. The research led by a team from the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre in the US analysed the data of 84 patients with excess obesity who received metabolic or bariatric surgery. The findings, published in the journal Obesity Surgery, showed that the surgery-based obesity treatment led to low rates of complications 30 days post-operation. "Patients with this level of obesity represent a growing demographic and one that requires nuanced care. The good news is, though these patients may be considered high risk due to their BMIs, bariatric and metabolic surgery remain largely safe for these patients," said Dr Florina Corpodean, postdoctoral researcher and surgical research fellow at Pennington Biomedical. With the escalating prevalence of obesity, healthcare providers are increasingly managing patients with a BMI exceeding 70.</p>
