The nurse can respond that the BMI and condition of the patient meets the criteria for a bariatric surgery.

<h3>What is a bariatric surgery?</h3>

Bariatric surgery is performed for the patient to lose weight, this is achieved by changing the digestive system by making a gastroesophageal reduction. This causes the caloric intake to decrease since less will be consumed than it was before, this without altering the appetite.

This procedure is performed when diet and exercise are not effective for weight loss. This is how morbidity and mortality are prevented.

Among the indications is to be between 18-60 years old, a BMI of 35-40 kg/m² associated with a disease associated with worsening comorbidity, obesity over 5 years, among others.

Therefore, we can confirm that the nurse can respond that the BMI and condition of the patient meets the criteria for a bariatric surgery.
