Stomach reduction with BMI 30: Do I qualify?

Yes, with a BMI of 30 you are eligible for gastric bypass surgery, but there is a good chance that the health insurance company will not reimburse for the treatment process (gastric bypass, pre- and aftercare).
If you have difficult-to-treat diabetes, the stomach reduction at BMI 30 will be reimbursed.

If your health insurance does not cover gastric bypass surgery, but you still want to have the surgery, you can choose to pay the cost yourself.
This course of treatment includes the surgery, pre- and post-operative care.
The care you receive in the years after surgery is very important for a good recovery and necessary to break old, unhealthy patterns.
During this course, you will receive guidance to modify your lifestyle and make it healthier.
The treatment team will help you with advice on nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle factors.
This is important to ensure that the gastric bypass surgery is successful in the long term and that your health improves.

Maagverkleining BMI 40

Is stomach reduction a good idea at BMI 30?

With a BMI of about 30, you may be wondering if gastric bypass surgery is an option for you.
BMI 30 falls into the category of severely overweight, also known as Obesity Class
1. This increases your risk of health problems such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes.
2. It is well known that losing weight has positive effects on your overall health, but keeping the weight down permanently can also be a challenge.
Many overweight people have tried repeatedly to lose weight, sometimes successfully, but find that the weight keeps coming back on.
This is also known as the yo-yo effect.
If you recognize yourself in this, it makes sense to consider a more sustainable solution.
Gastric bypass surgery may be able to help you with this.
