Changes in health guidelines have introduced new opportunities for people of Asian family origin to explore surgery as a solution for weight management and overall health improvement. If you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 27.5kg/m2, you could now be considered for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), opening up a range of treatment options that were previously limited.

What This
Means for You
People of Asian family origin are at a higher risk of obesity-related conditions at lower BMIs compared to others. These new guidelines recognise this and provide a tailored approach, recommending MBS for individuals with a BMI over 27.5kg/m2 — giving you access to life-changing treatments sooner.
