The Procedure and You

It’s always best to try to lose weight by eating healthy and exercising, but if you’ve tried everything to lose weight, or if your weight is causing health problems, weight loss surgery could be the right option for you.

Weight loss surgery is not for everyone. There are many aspects involved in determining whether you are a good candidate for this type of surgery. Typically, to meet the physical requirements, your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity) or your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity), and you have serious health problems as a result of your excess weight, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Even if you meet the physical requirements to have this surgery, you must also meet the psychological and medical requirements. A team of professionals, including a physician, dietitian, psychologist and surgeon, will evaluate your situation and determine whether the surgery is suitable for you.
