The BMI calculation divides an adult’s weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. For example, A BMI of 25 means 25kg/m2.

Body Mass Index is a simple calculation using a person’s height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m² is their height in metres squared.

Gastric sleeve is a restrictive procedure, that is, it provides weight loss by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten. It is also a treatment that works because it removes the part of the stomach that produces the hormone Ghrelin, which stimulates appetite and hunger. Elimination of ghrelin results in a significant decrease in appetite. With a changing diet, sleeve gastrectomy is a proven method of long-term weight loss for obese people.

Some people have trouble tolerating certain foods and this varies from person to person.
