Hi how much is 60 kg/m2 in BMI terms? x
Do you have any comorbidities? Such as Diabetes?
The NICE guidelines are just that guidelines for every PCT, however every PCT has a different criteria based on these guidelines. Some will just ask for the minimum NICE guidelines others will set a crieria with a higher BMI and or must have co-morbidities. The IoW on the BOSPA website says NICE guidelines. Its Hampshire on the mainland that state a bmi of 60 or more or 45 with co-morbidities. But you could always phone your local pct and ask them direct.
