Understanding if you are Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery
One of the primary qualifications for Bariatric Surgery is your Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a calculation of your height versus your weight.
To become a candidate for weight loss surgery, most insurance companies require a BMI higher than 40 without weight-related medical problems (for example, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, etc.) or a BMI greater than 35 with weight-related medical problems.
For those patients that do not qualify for surgery or who are not ready for weight loss surgery, we are still here to help achieve your goals with our non-surgical weight loss program.
