When can you be referred for medical or surgical management for obesity? The NHS has thresholds and guidelines about this. Typically, if your body mass index is 30 and you have diabetes, you can be referred for specialist treatment for obesity with metabolic surgery. If you have any other illness other than diabetes you can be referred to the BMR 35 and if your BMR is 40 you don't necessarily need to have an obesity related illness you can be referred directly for weight loss management surgery.
