Are you a candidate for weight loss surgery?

Patients must qualify medically to have bariatric surgery. This means being currently healthy enough for bariatric procedures. While only a physician or surgeon can give you a complete medical evaluation, the criteria listed here should help you get started. Additionally, our bariatric surgeons can provide more details regarding your specific condition during a private consultation.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) recommend the following qualification standards:

  • BMI ≥ 40, or more than 100 pounds overweight
  • BMI ≥ 35 and at least two obesity-related comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and other respiratory disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, lipid abnormalities, gastrointestinal disorders or heart disease
  • Inability to achieve a healthy weight loss sustained for a period of time with prior weight loss efforts

What is body mass index (BMI)?

BMI takes into account height and weight and is not dependent on gender. Although BMI does not take into account the percentage of body fat, many argue it is the best measure that doesn't rely strictly on body fat.

BMI is calculated by dividing an individual's weight (kg) by the individual's height (meters squared). The formula is: weight (kg)/height squared (m2).

How do I get started?

Simply schedule a consultation appointment with one of our physicians. You will have the opportunity to meet our surgeons and ask questions.
