- BMI reaches over 40 kg/m2 without additional criteria. The prerequisite for qualification for surgery is failure of conservative treatment, or inability to maintain weight loss for a long time despite adequate conservative treatment.
Weight loss due to intensive dieting prior to surgery below the BMI qualifying for surgery IS NOT a contraindication to surgery!
