Too muscular for surgery WTF????

[graeme87]

I recently posted that I was refused gyno surgery because my BMI is over 30 (classifying me as clinically obese)

This is not the case I’m 5,11 250lbs at 10% bf however the consultants concern was that I am at risk of complications due to general anaesthetic.

Do you know of any evidence that supports the claim that people with excess muscle mass are at a great risk for complications due to general anaesthetic?

I know people with a BMI of over 27 are classed as being at a greater risk but I believe these studies were done on fat people not bodybuilders.

Any help or information you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Also for you guys that have had gyno surgery can you post your BMI or just height, weight and if possible bf at the time of surgery.

Thanks
