Is there a weight limit to have a gastric bypass?
so, im 5ft 2 or 3 (short) and fluctuate between 11 and 12 stone. this is rather overweight for someone of my height. i know its no like morbidly obese or anything but im my own worst enemy. im about a size 14 ish (uk) and again i know its not too huge but personally i find myself incredibly unnatrractive and repulsive.now dont mistake me for a perfectionist or an overly critical person, im not an attention seeker either.i also have extremely low self esteem when it comes to this, and extremely low confidence. i just find myself/ my body disgusting. i dress well, and know how to flatter it but i would like to be able to wear a bikini in the summer. ive just been briefly researching about plastic surgery but its all talking about obese people. can you get it if your not obese? i mean, i imagine that if your willing to pay the money the doctors would care? its no skin off their nose? or do you NEED to be obese to get it?
please, noone give me lectures about exercising or eating healthily. i do exercise and i DO eat healthily.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters I think you need to see your own Dr and discuss this with him. He would need to refer you for any treatment either NHS or private.But I do feel that you need to talk to him about your perception of your body and how you see it affects your own personal world and you need to tell him all that you have written above a well so that he is aware of how you really do feel.At this stage some other therapy may be available to you that may be helpful at the moment to you.Perhaps he would be able to arrange for you to talk to someone which may be helpful and anything that you do now will help later on if you approach the subject again.
im sure your BMI has to be 30 or 35+i dont think r big enough to get it, but you should go for a consultation to enquire if you really want it, means you cant eat big meals =( or drink much alcohol im sure. not good =p
