The importance of your BMI value
<25
You are at most a normal weight, i.e. you have no health restrictions to worry about with regard to your weight. However, if your BMI is well below 20, you should be concerned about being underweight and seek help if necessary.
Nutrition coaching from Weight Doctors could help you understand which foods are best for your body.
25 to 29.9
You are overweight. Your risk of concomitant diseases is low, but increased. Your physical fitness may be limited.
The Weight Doctors can probably help. A suitable measure could be the gastric balloon for 6 months or the Allurion gastric balloon for swallowing. If you are looking for a permanent solution, the Mini-Sleeve from our Weight Doctors SLEEVE® program could be an alternative.
30 to 34.9
You suffer from grade I obesity. Your risk of concomitant diseases is increased. Your weight is already causing you noticeable physical discomfort.
There is a very good chance that the Weight Doctors can help you. A temporary or permanent stomach reduction, e.g. with the adjustable Spatz3 gastric balloon for 12 months, seems to make sense. For a permanent solution, the Endo-Sleeve from our Weight Doctors SLEEVE® program could be the right choice.
35 to 39.9
You suffer from grade II obesity, a serious form of obesity.
The Weight Doctors can help you with suitable measures. The longest possible temporary gastric balloon treatment for 1 year is just as possible as a long-term permanent measure. Depending on your weight loss goal, you could benefit from the Endo-Sleeve or the Extended Sleeve from our Weight Doctors SLEEVE® program.
40 to 44.9
You suffer from grade III obesity, a particularly pronounced form of obesity. We strongly advise you to seek medical advice. The risk of serious secondary diseases is considerable.
Please do not hesitate to contact us. The Weight Doctors can provide help if necessary, e.g. with the Extended Sleeve from our Weight Doctors SLEEVE® program, which is exclusively available from the Weight Doctors, or the Gastric Sleeve using minimally invasive LSG technology, our surgical sleeve stomach from our Weight Doctors BARIATRICS® program.
45 and higher
You are still suffering from grade III obesity or already from so-called super obesity (from BMI 50), i.e. a particularly severe form of obesity. You may already have severe joint problems, your movement is severely restricted and your breathing is difficult.
The Weight Doctors can show you a way to lose a significant amount of weight quickly and in a targeted manner. Our Weight Doctors BARIATRICS® program is especially designed for you – with our minimally invasive gastric surgeries such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve.
How to read your body mass index value correctly
A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight by definition and a BMI of 30 or more is considered obesity.
Before you tackle your obesity, it is important to be clear about the goal of your therapy. Experience has shown that therapy is all the more successful if the necessary changes can also be easily implemented in everyday life and the enjoyment of food is not completely neglected. Otherwise, motivation can quickly wane and the chances of combating overweight or obesity drop dramatically.
Our qualified team of Weight Doctors will advise you discreetly and individually on the individual treatment options and give you tips and tricks on how to achieve your desired or target weight.
