Do You Qualify

If you are more than 100 pounds overweight and have tried and failed to lose weight, or if you suffer from obesity-related health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, joint disease, depression, or infertility, bariatric surgery may be right for you. 

If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, discuss bariatric surgery with your physician.

• Do you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more?
  
  
• Do you have a BMI of 35 or more, plus a life-threatening obesity-related health problem such as diabetes, severe sleep apnea or heart disease?
  
  • Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI)
  • BMI provides a person with an accurate measurement of body fatness by doing a comparison calculation between height and weight.

• Does your weight cause physical problems that interfere with family, recreational or work-related activities?
