we've been told that no uk clinic would offer this surgery to someone of a normal weight, but that some clinics in turkey would. so we tested it out. the bbc messaged 27 weight loss clinics in turkey asking if they'll accept me for gastric sleeve surgery. i'm currently a size 12 and a bmi of 24.5, which is considered normal. this is an obesity surgery and i'm about to find out if any of the clinics accepted me at this size. 0k. i have no idea what's going to come out here, as you don't... you don't know either. no, i don't know. six of those 27 providers accepted my fake profile for gastric sleeve surgery, despite only having a bmi of 211.5. it just. . . baffles me. it's just wrong. they should not be offering any kind of surgery at, you know, at a normal bmi. it just. .. itjust makes no sense. message alerts.
