Your BMI is just a number. It's not the whole story.
I've had patients with BMI 32 who needed surgery immediately (severe diabetes, sleep apnea, joint destruction).
I've had patients with BMI 42 who started with Mounjaro first (because their health profile allowed it).
BMI is a starting point. But here's what actually matters:
→ Type 2 diabetes severity
→ Sleep apnea
→ Heart disease risk
→ Joint damage
→ Quality of life impact
This is why cookie-cutter "BMI charts" from online clinics are dangerous. Weight loss treatment isn't one-size-fits-all.
At GV Clinic, we look at YOUR complete health profile:
- Blood work
- Comorbidities
- Previous weight loss attempts
- Lifestyle factors
- Long-term goals
BMI 30-35? We might suggest ESG or medical Mounjaro programme first.
BMI 35-40? You have options—ESG and gastric sleeve both work. We'll help you decide.
BMI 40+? Surgery is likely your most effective path, but we still assess everything first.
The right treatment depends on YOU, not just a number on a chart.
This is what 25+ years of experience teaches you. Every patient is different.
